ASP is a German rock band from Frankfurt am Main formed in 1999. The name is basically identical with the pseudonym of the Band's leader Asp (Alexander Spreng) and to be pronounced as one word(like the snake).
ASP were formed in 1999 by Alexander Frank Spreng (aka 'Asp') and Matthias Ambré (aka 'Matze'), producing their first 3-track demo CD later that year. The following year saw a record deal with Trisol, who released the bands debut album 'Hast Du mich vermisst?'("Have you missed me [very much]?"), as well as the bands first live performance, at the 'Gothicworld' festival having added Andreas Gross (aka 'Tossi') on bass, Oliver Himmighoffen (aka 'Himmi') on drums and a choir section to the line-up).
