ASOMVEL

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."
Jay-Jay Winter started ASOMVEL in the early nineties with long-time friends, Lenny Robinson (guitar) and ex-Acid Reign and Cathedral drummer, Mark Ramsey Wharton. Many line-up changes later (with the constant of Jay-Jay and Lenny), the band's Full Moon Dog demo was released on vinyl to rave reviews. Hot on the heels of their success with Full Moon Dog, ASOMVEL recorded the album, Kamikaze - this garnered more excellent reviews.
ASOMVEL were amassing hordes of die-hard fans who would follow them around the UK and Europe. They had just returned from well-received gigs in Portugal and Ireland when Jay-Jay was involved in a fatal car accident on October 18th 2010. The world would never be the same again.
A posthumous 12" vinyl release, Stare at Death & Spit, featured Jay-Jay's last recordings.
To ensure Jay-Jay's name would never be forgotten, ASOMVEL decided they had to continue. Recruiting former Deathwing bassist/vocalist, Conan, and with long-standing ASOMVEL drummer, Ian "Slugger" Wright, the band hit the stage at Hammerfest 2012, and were back in business. October 2012 saw the release of the Kamikaze album on vinyl on High Roller Records (Germany), and also a barnstorming performance alongside Orange Goblin at the annual Full Moon Dog Festival in memory of Jay-Jay Winter.
ASOMVEL will appear in Starjack Entertainment's 2013 DVD release; 'Madder Than a Full Moon Dog' and they have also been asked to write music for the soundtrack of their upcoming psychological horror film, 'The Calicoon' starring Twisted Sister rock legend, Dee Snider
