Already before the wonderful Nocte Obducta broke up (temporarily), their singer Torsten Hirsch created Agrypnie. In the beginning it was only a solo project but, over the years, it turned into a real band with three full-length studio albums. In 2012, the fourth album is expected to be released and to ease waiting a little bit, an EP titled Asche [Ash] was published in the end of December. With a total playing time of 47 minutes, Asche is opulently equipped – nowadays only shockingly few EPs achieve this impressive length.
Gnōsis opens the EP right away in a very pounding way, and it remains that way for the most part of the song. Still, it´s at the same time very epic and melodic. The same holds true also for the second song Erwachen. With 1.10#06+0.35 it´s then getting a bit more quiet and a piano comes to the fore. There are two versions of the song Augenblick on the EP, as the regular fourth song and as a demo version, meant as a bonus track. The demo character is, however, very obvious, on the other hand, it´s quite interesting to see (or hear) how a certain song evolves. The EP concludes officially and on a very soft note with Kosmos [Omega]. Mission accomplished, Asche indeed whets the appetite for the upcoming album but also as an independent work it´s a good recommendation.
