In 1998 they recorded their first album, called "FRAGMENT" which entered directly into the german alternative charts (DAC) and stayed there for several weeks.
Their second album "HOMELESS" was released in 2000 by "Bloodline" and afterwards in the USA through Dancing Ferret Disks. And again they´ve entered the german alternativ charts with the Single-CD "Human". By the way there was an US-version of the "HOMELESS" containing 3 bonus tracks including the radio version of "Human" and two remixes, one done by Rogue of "The Crüxshadows".
During that time they played a lot of concerts, e.g. the show at the Zillo-Open-Air in 1999, maybe the main independent festival in Europe during that time or as headliner on the 3rd Dark Convention at Zürich/Switzerland.
Unfortunately their label "Bloodline" crashes down in 2002. Besides their guitarist Sven left the band of sanitary reasons. So Behind the Scenes had to look for an adequate substitute which took a long time. But then finally in 2005 they were successful and found Scholli (Ex-Secret Discovery, Syland, Assassin) as the new and long awaited member. So they start writing new songs and went in september 2005 in the studios to record their long awaited new album "Pure". Meanwhile the band also found a new record-company with the new founded label "In-D Records". Keep ears and eyes wide open for their third album "Pure" which will be released in 05/2006 in Europe (In-D Records / Soulfood) and on 06.06.2006 in USA/Canada (Dancing Ferret.
The style of Behind the Scenes is really unique, somewhere between rock, pop, gothic and of course, electronic elements.

Behind The Scenes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
there was a place
I pack my bags and explore new coasts
the end of flowers
I need some new experiences
the trees are rimed, the past shall burn
nside my heart there is a hole
the end of flowers
Endless summer raining, colour-fading
the end of colours with you
I cry a tear for you
there's nothing I can do
the end of colours
Our movie has turned
to black and white
there is no chance for a new start
I had a doubt, I had a heart
the end of colours
there was the time when I loved you
when I caressed you, yeah that's true
you play your games, so silly game
the end of flowers
Endless summer raining, colour-fading
the end of flowers
water wipes away bad memories of you
the end of colours and I love you
The lyrics to Behind The Scenes's song "Flowers" seem to be about the end of a relationship and the search for new experiences. The lyrics start by describing a time and a place, and the singer decides to pack their bags and explore new coasts. The repetition of "the end of flowers" could be symbolic of the end of something beautiful, like a relationship or a chapter in their life. The singer mentions a hole in their heart, which suggests that their previous experiences have left them with some emotional pain.
The second stanza begins with "endless summer raining, colour-fading." This line could suggest that despite the external beauty of summer, something inside the singer is fading away. There is a sense of resignation as the singer cries a tear for their lost love, acknowledging that there is nothing they can do to change the situation. The final stanza suggests that the relationship has turned to "black and white," which could represent the loss of the passion and intensity that was once present.
Overall, the lyrics to "Flowers" are poignant and emotional, and they effectively convey the sense of loss and uncertainty that accompanies the end of a meaningful relationship. The repetition of certain phrases adds to the sense of finality and closure, and the use of strong imagery helps to create a vivid picture of the singer's emotional state.
