Pearls in Dirt
Asrai's roots lay in the 1980's. Several of its members played in various punk and new-wave bands. At that time their music already had a melancholic dark side.
Finally in 1997 they released their debut CD, "As Voices Speak". This CD was noticed and signed to the label Poison Ivy.
From 1997 Asrai took time to perfect their sound and to find the right line-up. The band stood tall through this difficult period. Their perseverance was rooted in a sincere love for music.
In the meantime, contracted by Transmission Records, Asrai recorded their second CD "Touch in the Dark". Roman Schoensee produced this CD while Sascha Paeth, the best guy for mixing Metal and Rock, made the finishing touch.
May 26, 2004 the album "Touch in the Dark" was released in most European countries as well as in Asia and North and South America.
The single "Pale Light" was released may 6, 2004. The video-clip made for their single "Pale Light" was made by the versatile and talented duo Marcel de Jong and Jelle Swetter .
The second single "In front of me" from the album "Touch in the Dark" was released September 23, 2004. And again the videoclip was made by Marcel de Jong, Jelle Swetter and Maud Mulder.
