ENDLiCH! The grand finale of the ‘Fremder’ cycle from the gothic novel rock icons ASP
Ten years ago saw the beginning of a fascinating musical journey which now reaches its climax
on the latest ASP double album. And what a climax it is!
In these times of crisis, instead of staying on the safe side and serving the fans up with a re-
gurgitated hash of the admittedly anything but unpalatable standard ASP fare, this concept
album finally blows all genre conventions apart. Although it is firmly based on the usual
powers of musical narration, it completely dispenses with currying favour with particular
scenes or with keeping an eye on the mainstream.
Of course, this does’t necessarily make the unsettling, highly complex narrative any more
accessible. People who still reduce the band to ‘Ich will brennen’ and similar popular songs
may well have problems with mastermind Asp Spreng’s courageous reflections on his own,
lyrically complex powers. However, anyone who regards a music album as being more than
just background noise will find fulfilment in this world of songs.
Especially because musically, it increasingly defies genre categorisation, yet in an extremely
melodic manner. Because this climax to the ‘Fremder’ cycle is certainly not lacking hits,
many of which are crying out more than ever for the live stage. And the surprising thing is this:
although some songs clearly have their roots in metal, others represent a nostalgic nod to the
band’s sound in the early days, yet without coming across as an attempt to go back to the roots.
Rather, it sounds almost as if this fourteenth studio album seeks to playfully reconcile all the
styles deployed by ASP over the course of many years with one another, closing a circle.
ASP remain as extravagant as ever, as even in this era of streaming, they give their all to
ensure their releases are a real experience. The artwork, created with photo artist Heilemania
(Nightwish/Dimmu Borgir…), helps ensure the album represents a breathtaking total work of
art fusing music and imagery.
A bold, opulent chapter from ASP, which after two years’ intensive work and a decade of
storytelling brings this major cycle to an end with an absolute bang. A blockbuster of an album!
