ASP is a German Neue Deutsche Härte/Alternative 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.
ASP describe their music as "Gothic NOVEL Rock", based on the term "Gothic novels" (a literary genre of the 18th/19th century), not in connection with the Gothic Rock music genre.
