Sounding like the full-grown offspring of a Judas Priest/Iron Maiden union, ASKA showcase a thundering rhythm section, guitarists that can actually play solos, a singer with a 5-octave range and the band's true secret weapon; its songs. With topics that delve beyond the standard metal fare and bring thought provoking images of war, lost love, lament, psychopathy, religion, history and much more to the surface, their lyrical subject matter sets them well apart from the "I love Metal & the devil" pack that most people identify with the genre. From the first release to their fifth, the band has embarked on a variety of world tours that would be the envy of better established acts and its netted them notoriety, credibility, four indie record company contracts, radio play, television appearances, endorsement deals and 40+ countries notched on their belts to date and counting.

ASKA's last two releases, the critically acclaimed "Avenger" and the hot-selling, now-in-its-5th pressing, "Absolute Power", garnered unanimous praise and adoration globally and have been consistently ranked among the best contemporary albums in metal during each record's initial year of release. In fact, "Absolute Power" was so well received within the music community that legendary metal bands, OMEN, BANSHEE, CLOVEN HOOF & YNGWIE MALMSTEEN's ex-bassist/brother-in-law, Mick Cervino, offered singer/guitarist, George Call, a position as their lead vocalist.

ASKA has also performed at some of the biggest festivals around the planet and have been seen both onstage and off in the company of the some of the most revered artists in the genre.

Now, as ASKA unleashes its sixth release, 'Fire Eater' the band joins the great hall of champions and take their rightful place among the new defenders of the metal faith.
