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 ↴
Heaven help me, I ain't no liar, I ain't no liar to the sun
I'm a searcher, I'm a finder and I give you all my love
I have read it in the skies, said: all you need is in your heart
And I seize it in a mountain, in a sea drowned of my love
Dudududududu…
I have read it in the skies, said: all you need is in your heart
And I seize it in a mountain, in a mountain of my love
Dudududududu…
In "Mountain," Colour Haze explores the theme of finding fulfillment in oneself rather than seeking it through external factors. The singer proclaims their own worth and happiness while acknowledging their connection to a higher power ("Heaven help me"). They assert their own truthfulness, declaring that they are not lying to the sun, a metaphor for the universe or divine.
The second stanza repeats the idea that all one needs is within themselves, as seen in the stars above. The singer describes seizing this knowledge in a mountain of their own love, implying that self-love is the key to finding fulfillment.
The repeated "dududududu" at the end of each stanza creates a meditative, hypnotic effect, emphasizing the mantra-like quality of the lyrics.
Overall, "Mountain" is a song about self-acceptance and self-love as the foundation for personal fulfillment and happiness.

Colour haze really hits the spot..When you're in the mood from something like Kyuss but a little more relaxing this works great.

Don't get me wrong I've done a lot of psychedelics in my time and smoke daily, but attributing beautiful creations like this solely to psychedelic drug use diminishes it's true awesomeness.

no cabe duda, aun queda mucho por descubrir. Llevo muchos años coleccionando musica y aun descubro grupos que nunca habia escuchado, en parte por la escasa oferta que hay de musica no comercial. Gracias por subir cosas asi

Colourhaze are in a land, river, mountain of their own making!!! For those who say its boring, then tune out and listen to something else.. I still havnt gotten to see them live, missed Dunajam 2010 but not 2011!! They are a band that rises and falls in tone and from a simple head nod to a punching air head bang!! Soothes and satisfies like a mellow tobacco!! Long live Colour Haze.. Trev :) Desert Rock Ireland ~ finding a groove in the spaces in between ~ :)
