Completely unreleased live versions of tracks from the Original Line up of Keith Relf, Jane Relf, Jim McCarty, Louis Cenamo, John Hawken. Also includes re mastered version of Statues recorded in 1970 and not included on either of the bands initial two albums Biog: January 1969, former Yardbirds members Keith Relf and Jim McCarty organised a new group devoted to experimentation between rock, folk, and classical forms. This quintet-Relf on guitar and vocals, McCarty on drums, plus bassist Louis Cennamo, pianist John Hawken, and Relf's sister Jane as an additional vocalist-released a pair of albums on Elektra (US) and Island (UK-ILPS 9112), the first one, titled simply Renaissance, being produced by fellow ex-Yardbird Paul Samwell-Smith.[1] The band had begun performing in May 1969, before recording had begun for the debut LP, mostly in the UK, but with occasional forays abroad, including festivals in Belgium (Amougies, October 1969) and France (Operation 666 at the Olympia in January 1970, and Le Bourget in March 1970, both in Paris). In February 1970, they embarked on a North American tour, but that month-long trek proved marginally successful, as, because of their Yardbirds credentials, they found themselves paired with bands such as The Kinks, and their new classically oriented direction did not always go down well with audiences. Beginning in the late spring of 1970, as touring began to grind on them, the original band gradually dissolved. Relf and McCarty decided to quit performing, and Cennamo joined Colosseum. Hawken organised a new line-up to fulfil contractual obligations and complete the band's second album, Illusion, which was left unfinished. Record Label: Troubadour Style: Rock

In every end there is a start. Every dying era is succeeded by a new age. MANTUS had to learn that the hard way: Only recently, long-time female vocalist Thalia left the band. But instead of getting disheartened by this serious blow, Martin fought on nonetheless, found a wonderful new companion in Chiara and took on the burden of existence, everyday life and society once more. With the new MANTUS album „Wölfe“ („wolves“), the first chapter of this new era has officially begun. Available at the ASP/ MANTUS fall tour for the first time, this work once again proves to be a canalization of all that which makes us despair in life. After last years' double blow consisting of „Zeichen“ and the uncompromising „Sünder“ EP, MANTUS once again prove that they belong to the spearhead of the German Gothic movement and that they are more than willing to defend this status to the blood. Which won't be a problem at all: Not only embodies „Wölfe“ all that what MANTUS ever stood for, but it also carries the attitude of a whole movement, clads the fight with one's demons in powerful songs. For these artists, isolation, estrangement and world weariness are not only words but emotions they carry deep within themselves as a cloud carries rain. „Wölfe“ is a manifest of melancholy, a bastion of misanthropic feelings, a figurehead of the Gothic movement in 2012. In a world of human wolves, righteousness, love and understanding have become scarce goods. MANTUS are well aware of that and write songs that almost burst of intensity and that clad all those disappointments, bad experiences and drawbacks into massive, bombastic compositions. With those, Martin and Chiara achieve something that is also possible to happen with the listener: They exorcize negativity, leaving behind strength and determination, framed in elegiac hymns balancing between Gothic mourning, aggressive Metal force and electronic dynamics. More versatile than ever, the duo adds acoustic guitars, violins and the captivating interplay of Chiara's fragile, fairy-like voice and Martin's deep, pained vocals to the 13 new songs. Critical as always, they take a look at mankind and a dying world that we are leading to the edge step by step. Man is a wolf to man. Records like „Wölfe“, however, unmistakably prove to where such a behaviour leads and turn out to be a plea for more humaneness and honesty. Perhaps MANTUS won't change the world with this album. But they at least show that even small deeds can make a big difference – and deliver the morbid soundtrack of our downfall along the way. Deep, relentless, without compromises and gripping - „Wölfe“ does not shrink from despising our world. And yet there is hope that one day it will get better.

Songs as armour – the ‘GeistErfahrer’ EP consists of six new ASP pieces dealing with the impending end of the world. ASP are a phenomenon in the German music scene. For years now they have been tirelessly, with blazing passion, winning themselves an audience far beyond any scene boundaries. At the same time they are true to themselves and their music and regularly manage to achieve high positions in the official German music charts – completely without currying favour with the mainstream. Fans of challenging lyrics and profound rock music have long since been aware that songs of great strength and soothing melancholy are hidden away behind the gruesome make-up and the often-alarming content. Up to now, hardly any band has managed to deliver entertaining content which doesn’t shy away from socio-critical topics and yet be able to incorporate it so skillfully into the atmospheric cosmos of a project such as this. But this time around Asp Spreng doesn’t deliver an overall concept, in contrast to the successful album ‘fremd’, which was exceptionally interconnected, both musically and in terms of its content. He delivers an EP with six previously unreleased songs, each of which stands up in its own right and tells its own sombre story. Granted, on first hearing you definitely wouldn’t regard these pieces as thin gruel. However, when you come to get to grips with the compositions, their complete dramatic beauty slowly and inevitably unfolds. Six songs about the impending end of the world, whether in a global context or in the totally intimate spheres of private fear and loss. In six new songs, ASP swim against the rampant societal illness of superficiality both musically and lyrically and don’t baulk from presenting themselves in a vulnerable light which wasn’t hitherto present. A CD with a playing time of nearly 40 minutes which carries you off into a world full of musical extremes. And yet once again, ASP manage to create something whose strong melodies lend the whole a definite hit sensibility. The furious title track would be just as suitable for a single as the driving wave rocker ‘Carpe noctem’, which could be classified as one of the most beautiful ASP songs of all time. In the eccentric and tragic piece ‘In Sack und Asche’, delicate, fragile piano melodies alternate with metal sounds. With ‘Weichen[t]stellung’, the band finally once more deliver a genuine electro-rock-club firecracker which drives its way mercilessly into the legs and the heart. In ‘ÜberHärte’, the band successfully balance doom metal guitar riffs and tongue in cheek elements borrowed from Neue Deutsche Härte, a genre generally frowned upon by the band. And for the conclusion, the band leaves the listener perplexed and smitten with the epic ‘Danach’, which offers almost ambient-like expanses and delicate acoustic guitar arrangements. Afterwards there is a vacuum which can only be filled by immediately listening to the CD once again before fear of the void, the horror vacui, devours everything anew. These songs creep slowly but inexorably into your ears and heart. And if that wasn’t cruel enough, Asp Spreng’s lyrics are of a quality which is seldom found in popular music of any stripe. Six brand new and pitch-black pieces from ASP, which should be understood with a wink in the eye: more than ever, ASP are ein wahrer Satan who once again playfully and viciously allow their listeners to geisterfahren (English: to drive down a road in the wrong direction). With this release he doesn’t just embark on the kind of gothic pop songs that are currently in vogue, but quite clearly demonstrates how thrilling and multifaceted sombre music can be.
