​
Symbolic for the music of the band stands the name "Askara": As the bird in the writing so does the music itself rise out of dismal depths, reaches freedom, cleansing through fire, falls deep only to oscillate even higher. Elevation, vastness and commitment in sound. On the wings of its music the band spreads its fin.
