ASP – Hast Du Mich Vermisst? (Schmetterling Zyklus, Teil 1)
Unlock the origins of a gothic phenomenon. Originally released in 2000 and featured here as a 2004 Richterskala reissue, Hast Du Mich Vermisst? serves as the foundational first chapter of the "Schmetterling Zyklus" (Butterfly Cycle). This album introduced the world to the charismatic vision of frontman ASP and multi-instrumentalist Matthias Abré.
Characterized by a unique blend of German and English lyrics, the album navigates a dark, alternative landscape. From the atmospheric, violin-tinged keyboard arrangements of "Und Wir Tanzten" to the driving energy of "Teach Me War," ASP’s debut captures a transition from gentle melancholia to powerful industrial-tinged rock. The release is as much an aesthetic statement as a musical one, featuring the iconic pale-faced, "warrior" imagery that would define the band's visual identity for years to come.
Key Album Highlights:
- Cycle Starter: The essential first installment of the "Der Schwarze Schmetterling" saga.
- Bilingual Artistry: A seamless mix of German and English vocals.
- Key Tracks: Includes the club-ready classic "Und Wir Tanzten" and "Myxogastrid."
- Genre: Gothic Novel / Dark Alternative / Electronic.
For fans of Depeche Mode, Diva Destruction, and German darkwave, this reissue is a vital piece of gothic music history, showcasing the raw potential of one of the genre's most theatrical acts.
