This new MCD of ASP starts of with a co-operation with the
lead singer of In Extremo. Wer Sonst? is actually featured three times on this
MCD. The first edit with Micha Rhein, the original version and a remix by
Project Pitchfork. The song itself can be described as typical for ASP, the
sound and melodies fit with previous work. The song tells the tale of someone
who is the only hope to save a group of people. The second track following the
tale tells of how this person get’s lost in the fairytale country where people
have stolen het soul. There is only one direction to go. This song retains the
same style and is easily accessible to a bigger audience. The third track is a
cover from The Cult “Rain”, actually ASP has made the song more complete than
the original version and certainly more bombastic. Hereafter follows “Kummer”
which can be interpreted as the final storyline in this tale (at least on this
MCD), here someone left behind by the person whose soul was stolen and entered
the fairytale forest to recover her soul but got lost tells about the feelings
he has after this tragic loss. This song is much darker than the other tracks.
Another version of this song is the last track of the album adding to
atmosphere by wailing cat sounds.
This promises much for the upcoming full length album!
