ASKA talking about 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.”
Reviews of “Knight Strike”:
The new album is just straight ahead classic heavy, heavy metal and features George Call who also sang in Cloven Hoof, Omen, and a few other bands. – The Metal Command Show
“Knight Strike”… exceeds expectations, offering a tour de force of U.S. heavy/power metal replete with vigor, melody, and fervor. – Metal Zone
In essence, with “Knight Strike,” ASKA not only meets but exceeds expectations, offering a tour de force of U.S. heavy/power metal replete with vigor, melody, and fervor. George Call’s vocals, a sublime fusion of Coverdale’s grit, Defeis’s range, and Lizzy Borden’s theatricality, further elevate the sonic tapestry, infusing it with depth and resonance. This album is a masterful amalgamation of diverse sounds and emotions, inviting listeners on a captivating sonic journey. – Metal Zone
94 out of 100, so what does this mean, well if you are an ASKA fan you will get it, if you love metal an essential purchase, if you have never heard of ASKA this is a good one to get you will not be disappointed! – Lance Souther Metalholics, Rock, Punk & Comedy for Eternity

About ASKA:
ASKA, Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas-based, long-running heavy metal band has, as the title they gave their 3rd international tour can attest, “been there, done that”. And how! In 1992, just a short year after the release of the group’s self-titled debut album, they began touring the world performing at military bases, embassies and satellite installations around the globe for the U.S. Dept. of Defense/USO entertainment services. For nine years the group maintained a steady course, playing for U.S & foreign military troops in well over 56 countries and territories globally before turning their focus to the civilian world. There, they promptly played festivals around America and Europe and furthered their exposure in no small way. From inception to present, ASKA released seven full length albums on both national and international labels.
During the process, ASKA’s triple-threat frontman/vocalist/guitarist, George Call, came to the attention of cult, US underground metal pioneers, Omen, where he was promptly recruited to take over the lead vocalist slot for three years while still maintaining his role in ASKA. When that association dissolved, George was immediately snatched up by former Atlantic Records/Metal Blade, Midwestern, MTV veterans, Banshee, where he’s been front and center on the band’s two newest top notch releases. While helming both bands after a fateful meeting at a festival performance with ASKA in Germany, Call, was further enlisted to join U.K. legendary, cult NWOBHM band, Cloven Hoof, where he proceeded to record and release three critically acclaimed, fan-favorite albums. ASKA drummer Danny White joined George on two of these endeavors while the band’s long-serving bassist/vocalist, Keith Knight, engineered and recorded a high percentage of George’s extra-curricular activity at his Knight Recording Studios, keeping the three working together even when it was outside of the band.
