ASP's rise from nowhere to one of the top live acts in Europe has been nothing
short of phenomenal.
Formed in 1999 it wasn't long before they were snapped up by Trisol. They
released what was one of the top Gothic CD's of 2000 'Have you missed me - The
Black Butterfly Tale 1'. DJ De'Ath was one of the first dj's to start playing
the CD and since January 2001 'Sing Child' and 'The Schwarze Scmetterling' have
become BlackVeil classics.
They blend English and German, Gothic Rock and Electronics, pounding bass and
choir like vocals to produce the sound which is ASP. Other classics which have
been storming the Gothic dancefloor recently have been 'She Wore Shadows',
'Stille Der Nacht' and the explosive 'Ich Will Brennen'.
If you aren't dancing by the end of their set then call the police as someone
has stolen your legs. Der Schwarze Schmetterling has landed.

Escape With Romeo were formed in 1989 by Thomas Elbern following his departure
from 'Pink Turns Blue'.
It was also when they released one of the biggest songs in the German gothic
scene 'Somebody'.
Devoping a fusion of melodic reverb guitar, solid bass and drums and
electronics they have produced classics like Black River, Music is Dead, and
It's Lonliness.
This year they released a piece of aural sculpture in Psalms of Survival.
Prepare to witness one of the greats of the German Goth scene.

Formed in the early 90's The Last Dance have made several appearances in the UK
, notably Sacrosanct and Whitby where they earned a reputation for stunning
live performances. However since they visited the UK they have tragically lost
their drummer Lucky Ivan Dominguez (RIP) whilst on tour in 2002.
The tragic loss has strengthened the remaining members and in 2003 they
released a contender for CD of the year in 'Whispers In Rage'.
For the tour they have Stevyn Grey who was drumming with Diva Destruction at
the last BTV. One of the Gothic greats.

A writhing riot of hair, make-up, pvc, leather and punk-goth cabaret, the
Screaming Banshee Aircrew were created in 2001.
As the various parts of the whole split off into personas, it was patently
obvious that something ghastly was evolving!
The SBA are a four-piece Alternative Goth band based in York, England.

The duo were formed in October 2001. They have so far released 3 excellent
demo's and are currently working on their first full length album which will
feature @ BTV II. It's only a matter of time before they are signed by a major
label.
They are heavily influenced by Christian Death, The Sisters of Mercy and Fields
Of The Nephilim. And yet they have a sound all of their own. One of the new
crop of Gothic greats from Poland.
