The band's line-up has been restructured since the their inception, but has remained steady since May of 1999. Since then, the band has released six studio albums and has amassed a large international following. They have toured extensively within Germany, and frequently perform in and around Belgium, Holland and Austria.
Initially, the band seemed to be strongly influenced by the sounds of Black Sabbath - perhaps most notably in their 1999 album, titled Periscope. This style later evolved into an unmistakably dry, bass-laden soundscape. Characteristic of this phase is Kogleks' continual guitar playing between trance-like bass rhythms. The albums Ewige Blumenkraft and Los Sounds de Krauts allowed the band to further develop this style with longer, more complex song structures, and increasingly strong jam and jazz elements.
The results of these experiments were, in part, ridiculously long, complex, and self-referential 20-minute songs - culminating in their seminal self-titled album, Colour Haze, which was released in 2004. On their follow-up LP, Tempel, the three continued to work with their innovative take on drone-based stoner rock. Even temporary arrangements within their experimental albums evolved into potent and complex arrangements, which for the most part were still jazz-based. With their more recent albums, however, Colour Haze have also effectively melded the sounds of world music into their style.

Colour Haze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I don't feel so good I can't help it
Well, I can't help it if I don't feel so good
If I don't feel so good I can't help it
If I had it my way, I'd be sittin' on the top of the world
But I can't help it
When the anger comes in him
One day it comes
One day it comes in him
There's no place for a man to hide
To hide
Would you do anything in the world
to make him feel better inside?
Inside
I'm gonna sit back back here
Gonna watch this cloud roll by
Roll by
I'm gonna sit back back here
Gonna watch this cloud roll by
Good-bye
Next time you'll see me
Should be shinin' like the 4th of July
So high
But I can't help it if I don't feel so good
If I don't feel so good I can't help it
If I had it my way, I'd be sittin' on the top of the world
But I can't help it
The song "Inside" by Colour Haze speaks about struggles with mental health and the feeling of not being in control of one's emotions. The repetition of "I can't help it if I don't feel so good" emphasizes a sense of powerlessness and being unable to change one's state of mind even if they wanted to. The line "If I had it my way, I'd be sittin' on the top of the world" reveals the desire to overcome these feelings and achieve a sense of fulfillment.
Furthermore, the lyrics suggest that the person struggles with anger and how to cope with it. The lines "When the anger comes in him/There's no place for a man to hide" highlight that the anger takes control and there is nowhere to run or escape. The question "Would you do anything in the world/to make him feel better inside?" implies that the person is looking for support and help to overcome these emotions.
The closing lines of the song show a glimmer of hope and optimism for the future, as the singer states they will "be shinin' like the 4th of July" next time they are seen. This suggests that the person is working towards overcoming their struggles and achieving a brighter future.
