Format in 2011, proiectul Linea Aspera provine din underground-ul est-londonez si ii reuneste pe Ryan Ambridge (synths/programming) si Alison Lewis aka Zanias (voce/synths). Cei doi au in comun pasiunea pentru coldwave, minimal synth si electronic body music, precum si o colectie de sintetizatoare analogice vintage. Sound-ul lor este inspirat de muzica electronica a anilor ’80, de synth-pop, dar si de industrial sau noise.
Dupa lansarea albumului de debut, Linea Aspera LP (Dark Entries Records, 2012), si un turneu european de succes, trupa s-a destramat, iar Zanias a inceput o cariera solo. In 2019, Dark Entries Records a relansat piese Linea Aspera mai vechi, in cadrul unei compilatii intitulate Preservation Bias, ceea ce a dus la reactivarea proiectului.
In septembrie 2020, Linea Aspera revine cu cel de-al doilea album de studio, LP II, lansat independent. Amanat din cauza pandemiei, albumul va fi prezentat, in vara acestui an, intr-un turneu european ce incepe la Bucuresti – marti 31 mai, la Control Club.
“Linea Aspera serve up an icebox of dark doom riding on Alison’s powerful vocals with a soft but sharp touch.” – Dark Entries
“An LP that you have to savour…Something fair and touching emanates from the music of Linea Aspera.” – Goth Me Out
“Linea Aspera’s second album is an attempt to reconcile deeply human experiences with concepts of physics and astronomy.” – Cultartes
