Asa is the sixth studio album by the German Viking metal band Falkenbach. It was released in 2013 on Prophecy Productions. The lyrics are written in Limburgish.[1] Tümmers says he chose to use the language as it is the language of his ancestors.[2]
Yvonne Duchateau of Sonic Seducer, Markus Endres of Metal.de and Filip Van Muylem of Peek-a-Boo Magazine commented that the album combines stylistic elements from Falkenbach's entire career.[3][4][5] Duchateau wrote that what is new is the presence of more quiet songs with clear vocals, such as "Eweroun" and "Bluot fuër bluot", which gives a more immediate impression;[3] Endres wrote that "[i]n this tension between Nordic folklore with acoustic guitars and clear vocals, Pagan / Black Metal with sawing riffs, melodic keyboards and harsh voice, Asa comes alive".[4] Van Muylem called the combination of different expressions a "successful amalgamation of tradition without any clichés and fiery passion".[5]
