Aspects is a British hip hop group originally formed in Bristol in 1996. The core group consists of four members - El Eye (Ian Merchant), BeelziBubber Loucifur (Alexander Parsons), Old Mantis (Benjamin Weaver) and The Printer's Devil (Rory Donnelly). The group cut their teeth freestyling throughout Bristol, firstly appearing in underground night spots and later performing throughout Blighty and beyond. Disconnected with the 'virtual' music scene, Aspects were unaware of the existence of the internet until well after the turn of the century.
They released their debut album "Correct English" in 2002, followed by "Mystery Theatre?" in 2004. After a hiatus, they released their third album "Left Hand Path" in 2013.
