BraveWords Records is pleased to announce the digital release of Aska’s Knight Strike. To accompany the digital release Aska has unveiled the latest single and brand new music video for the track “1944”.
ASKA comments on their new video “1944”, “This song is a work of historical fiction which takes a pivotal point in world history and posits the question: ‘What if….?’
“Controversial? Maybe. Yet there have been many books, films and television series written on the same premise. To say we find it a bit preposterous that we were forced to remove all symbology and iconography of one side’s combatants and leadership from our video to meet YouTube’s censorship standards would be the understatement of the year. Especially when one can see far worse on any documentary dealing with the actual events, not the fictionalized ones we were originally portraying here.
“It goes without saying, the song is a work of historical, military fiction based on actual events. ASKA does not condone war, discrimination or persecution of anyone based simply on religion, gender or race.
“Now crank up the volume, hit play, share with your friends and be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments section.”

ASKA fans, friends, troops and supporters - we'd like to take a moment to announce to you today our new guitarist. Please help us welcome to the band one of the most solid, dependable, experienced guitarists in the Texas metal music scene today: Mr Eric Halpern. We first met Eric when ASKA & his Houston based band, Z-Lot-Z, performed some shows together here in D/FW and there in H-town in the late 90's. His bonafides, are all well in order with Eric having done stints in Destiny's End, Leatherwolf and other bands of note. We are pleased to have him join ASKA and will have some live show dates for you soon so that you can come say hello in person and hear for yourself how great the band is sounding today. In addition we have some other, very cool announcements coming very soon. Stay tuned and watch this space! Welcome to the band Eric Halpern!
