German Import| Standard Edition in Jewel Case including 20-pages booklet. New album from German Gothic legends ASP
Requiembryo (the title alludes to its content: Death (Requiem) is followed by new life (Embryo), and this oeuvre represents the fifth and also the concluding part of their ongoing butterfly cycle.
Featuring the German hit single "Ich Bin Ein Wahrer Satan" (this single reached 29 in the official German charts) - a gloomy yet slightly mocking Goth hymn that successfully demonstrates the greatness of this Goth-Rock-Act. Requiembryo delivers the corresponding album (a very complex double-album actually) - both in style and in content. With more than 100 minutes playing time featuring typical ASP hit songs and additionally some atmospheric and intense radio play and soundtrack fragments, this is ‘Gothic Poetry Rock’ at its very best. Requiembryo marks the completion of an enthralling musical narration, a piece of art which has easily managed to combine classical 19th century Gothic literature with contemporary Goth-Rock-Music. This CD is also a feast for the eyes: the complete concept artwork has been created in collaboration with Ingo Römling and has impressively set a new standard in this genre.
