Asteria is an American rock band from Crown Point, Indiana.
Asteria formed in 2003 at Crown Point High School and began playing local shows, building a strong regional following. Their name was chosen by drummer Sam Henderson from a gardening book; it is an alteration of the word wisteria. After releasing their first album, 2004's Broken-Hearted Lullabies And Hope-Filled Dreams, they played at the Indiana Region Rumble in 2004 and won a number of regional awards that year. Their second full-length A Lesson in Charades followed in May 2005, which soon after led to their signing to Carbon Copy Media, owned by J.T. Woodruff of Hawthorne Heights. However, the group eventually split with Carbon Copy and recorded their follow-up with producer John Naclerio. Naclerio decided to release the album on his own Broken English Records (a subsidiary of EastWest Records); the album was originally slated for a November 2006 release, but was pushed back to February 2007. The group toured nationally in support of the album.
From the mountains near the river
Floating wild into the sea
All my hope I now deliver
That your light shines over me
When the night is falling, guide me on my way
Asteria, Asteria
Almighty goddess of the stars
I'm calling you, Asteria
You bring greatness to my heart
The nightshade becomes golden
When your spirit lights the dark
As I stare into the darkness
My emotions rising high
I am riding through the forest
On my journey near the sky
When your stars are shining, I can never fail
Asteria, Asteria
Almighty goddess of the stars
I'm calling you, Asteria
You bring greatness to my heart
The nightshade becomes golden
When your spirit lights the dark
All my life I fought for justice
With your guidance on my side
Asteria, Asteria
Almighty goddess of the stars
I'm calling you, Asteria
You bring greatness to my heart
The nightshade becomes golden
