Asterius
The German band Asterius formed in the mid nineties, self-releasing
their first album and then latching on to the Italian
Cruz Del Sur
label
for their 2003 effort,
A Moment Of Singularity.
They call their music "cosmic bizarre metal" (which actually
isn't inaccurate), though it's probably a bit more telling to label
them as gothic black metal, as they have clear elements of both
genres (and even a few progressive touches) though they aren't
firmly in either camp.
The arrangements are dense and busy, sometimes in need of bit more
direction, the kind of songs that probably take more than a few
listens to really appreciate.
There's room for improvement, but the potential is there, and the
two releases thus far may well be of interest to those seeking
something a bit different.
