    Finnish rockers Poets of the Fall - singer Marko, guitarist Olli and keyboardist Captain - started out their musical adventure from scratch in 2003. Marko sold everything he had to invest in pursuing the love of his life, music, with his buddies Olli and Captain. He moved into his folks' basement, when he couldn't keep a place of his own any longer. The guys then built a little studio of their own in Captain's living room for the recording and producing sessions, and kept an office in Olli's beat up old car. The result of the recording sessions was a novel blend of pop, rock, metal and industrial sounds. Later the guys were joined by guitarist Jaska, bassist Jani and drummer Jari.

    Among others, Poets of the Fall has received the following awards:



    Best Finnish Act at MTV Europe Music Awards 2006
    Best Finnish Music Video of all time in TV2's Musiikki-TV and Best Music Video of 2006 at The Voice (video Carnival of Rust)
    Two Emma Awards (the Finnish Grammys) in 2005 - the best debut album and the best new act
    The Bronze Muuvi and People's Choice Muuvi 2006 Awards (video Carnival of Rust)
    Best Finnish band at the NRJ Radio Awards 2006
    Commercial Radio Stations' Newcomer of the Year Award in 2005

    Legendary death metal heavyweights DYING FETUS return with their crushing new full-length Descend into Depravity. One of the most infamous and influential death metal bands of the past 10 years, DYING FETUS pummel and pound their signature-style brutality into the worldwide landscape with the subtlety of full-fledged war. Descend into Depravity takes DYING FETUS to new sonic levels, and is easily the bands finest hour.

    Is there more Poets of the Fall coming after Lift? I hope at least some of their other best known songs would come, like Carnival of Rust and War.

    considering "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" is played on SIX STRING FRETLESS BASS you can't really blame them.

    Looks okay to me though.

    New act we are working on at ASP

    Tantric

    Tantric is a post-grunge band from Louisville, Kentucky, that was formed by three former members of Days of the New, Jesse Vest, Todd Whitener, and Matt Taul, with the addition of Merge singer, Hugo Ferreira. They were signed to Maverick Records in 1999, and recorded their self-titled debut with producer, Tobey Wright in 2000. The record was released in February 2001, which debuted at #193 on the Billboard 200. The record eventually went platinum, largely on the strength of the single "Breakdown" and the band's extensive touring with the likes of Kid Rock and Creed. Follow-up singles "Astounded" and a remixed version of "Mourning" also fared well.On March 9 2009, Tantric announced through MySpace that their new album will be entitled Mind Control and that the band were in the process of recording the album. Produced by Brett Hestla (Creed), they announced a release date of August 4, and it was released in stores, as well as all digital retailers.

    Wow, a platinum artist (especially after debuting at 193.) Impressive.
