ASM’s ‘Paapi’ conjures the spirit of rock and roll

On January 13, rock band ASM, released their new song Paapi , on YouTube. Paapi is the first track of ASM’s upcoming album AMS II, which is slated to release in 2024. The song is based on a chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, entitled Plight of Arjun, in which Arjun is in an emotional dilemma on whether or not to fight his brothers the Kauravas.

Paapi carries a heavy feel, resembling an ode to the golden era of rock music. The riffs are both authentic and untainted, transporting listeners back in time. However, in an era dominated by EDM and pop music, the song has not achieved the level of success the band had hoped for.
