A Dream to Some...A Nightmare to Others!
“These guys calmly walk on, bludgeon your senses with a baseball bat, and then retire to the bar, leaving you with what's left of your mind in a pool in your pants.”
ASOMVEL are a four-piece hard rock band from the U.K., notorious for excessive volume, and high-octane stage shows.
Barely a year after ASOMVEL released their well-respected debut LP, Kamikaze, the band was shaken to its core when front-man, Jay-Jay Winter, was killed in a road accident.
Although a devastating tragedy, co-founding guitarist, Lenny, knew that the band had to continue in tribute to the determined spirit of their founder.
Since releasing World Shaker, the first album with Jay-Jay’s nephew, Ralph, on vocals, the band has performed around the world; including a tour of South America, Japan, and all around Europe. These dates included many well-respected festivals and lengthy tours with well-established artists.
Press
“Late nights, loud amps, red eyes, sore ears, and a sea of empty bottles in the morning.” (METAL HAMMER)
“...Pulls off the neat trick of being both utterly authentic and thrillingly relevant. The best of heavy metal has plenty of dirt under its fingernails: this lot must never be allowed to work in a food preparation area.”�(DOM LAWSON – THE GUARDIAN)
“Album of the week.”�(PHIL ALEXANDER – EDITOR IN CHIEF, MOJO MAGAZINE)
“Reminded me of my Motörhead days, I think they’ve really nailed it.” (FAST EDDIE CLARKE – MOTORHEAD)
“Devastating and inspirational, ‘Knuckle Duster’ could have inspired Voivod and Sodom to the kind of heights ‘Filth Hounds of Hades’ and “Iron Fist’ itself did back in 1982.” (IRON FIST MAGAZINE)
“...Maverick charisma, heads-down determination and sheer balls, all of which ‘Knuckle Duster’ has in, well, spades. Ace.”�(TERRORIZER)
“This is filthy primal savagery for pure hell raisers only; all pretenders will have their balls blown off when listening to this album. This is great high-octane gritty metal rock ‘n’ roll, turn it up to eleven, open a can of Special Brew, light a smoke and enjoy.” (BRUTALISM)
“ASOMVEL’s opus lives up to its name and provides and veritable kick up the arse of U.K. metal, making us realise what this country has long been about and yet for so long neglected.”�(METAL FORCES)
“...the new album from U.K. band ASOMVEL is an uncompromising and thrilling storm of prime beef U.K. metal...one of the true joys of U.K.’s metal underground.” (RINGMASTER REVIEW)
“Heads-down, headbanging and bruising, non-pretentious, no-bullshit tunage.” (METAL SHOCK)
“A band louder than Motörhead you say? Step right this way...” (KERRANG!)
“Makes you wanna reach for your cut-off denim and head down the pub to tell your mates the new band you’ve discovered...ASOMVEL are definitely one of the best metal bands to emerge from the U.K. in a long while.”�(MASS MOVEMENT)
