Asperity's debut release from 2004 on Arise Records is one of those records that just doesn't get enough pub.  It came out about a year ago and I am sorry to say I did not get it until June 2005.  What we have here is a nice slab of melodic power metal with some catchy songs and some incredibly catchy choruses.  The singer is in the upper-mid range and to me has some character to his voice.  Musically it is mostly mid-paced chuggers, nice drumming and you can hear the bass!  In the faster, double bass parts I am reminded a little of recent Nocturnal Rites.  So if you like this style, definitely check these guys out if you have not already. Also, check out the song in the MP3 section.
