Asraï

Biography

Click to zoom the imageThe band was formed in 1985 and changed name on 1988 to adopt Asraï.  Some members played in various punk and new-wave bands. At that time their music already had a side melancholic and dark side.

Several demos were carried out between 1989 and 1994  (« the Blue tape », « So clear that you couldn't tell where the water ended and the air began », « Love is a Lie », « Live in a package »).  It is finally in 1997 that they carried out their first CD, « As Voices Speak ».

From 1997, the members of Asraï take time to improve their sound and to find the good line-up.

At the same time, in contract with Transmission Records, Asraï recorded their second CD  « Touch in the Dark ». Roman Schoensee produced this CD while the final mixing was entrusted to Sascha Paeth.

In December 2006, the band is signed by the label Season of Mist: the third album is programmed for spring 2007 and will be followed of a European round.

This album « Pearls in Dirt » is finally released in November 2007.
