The sextette began working on their debut album "Gusła". The compositions were being created gradually and carefully due to the fact that the band was willing to do a concept album completely devoted to Polish Medieval culture. They went through several preproductions, they thought deeply about their extraordinary sound, lyrics and additional effects that could illustrate the presented world. Lao Che created crossover type of music, since all the members of the band had previous experience in death and doom metal and they wanted to mix up other genres as well. A lot of different styles were incorporated in their music: ambient, rock, metal, folk, reggae and the classical one too. It took them 2 years to complete the project. When everything was recorded, Sp Records released "Gusła" album in January 2002.
In May 2002 Warz left the band and he was repleaced by Krojc. Then Lao Che started playing live on stage in different places of Poland. In January 2003 another musician - Trocki - joined them to create a septet. In this line-up Lao Che began working on their second concept album: "Powstanie Warszawskie" ("The Warsaw Uprising"). The approach to composing the music was based on previous experience with Gusła and it took the band 2 years to complete another album. It was recorded in Obuh Studio (Analogue Rogalow) with the use of old equipment from the sixties and the seventies. A few microphones were even from the thirties. "Powstanie Warszawskie" was released by ARS Mundi Records in March 2005. They have released their first live DVD titled just like their sophomore record in May 2006.
Their third album "Gospel" was released on 22 February 2008 and the first single from this record is "Drogi Panie".

Wolność ja kocham i rozumiem,
wolności to ja oddać nie umiem.
A kajdany mi dzwonią, gdy cień Gapy nad głową,
Czas, by powstać i rachunki wyrównać krzywd,
Nazistowskiego wy ducha wypierdy,
"Mamidła z wąsikiem" marionetki,
... kurwa Wasza Faszystowska Mać.
Pełznie ukradkiem Oporność 3-osobowa:
Ja, Pędzel i Farba Biała - morowa to załoga,
Do mnie należą tego miasta mury,
Kotwica wydrapie Buntu pazury.
Achtung! Aufruf! Polen und Polinnen!
Pierdu, pierdu, bla, bla, ble, pierdu, pierdu
Her Fisher, pan pozwoli,
że powiem gdzie mnie boli:
"Zarządzenie pańskie" to mam w dupie ja,
To miasto, Ten Kraj opornym jest,
Podziemie jego więzione- zawsze wolnym jest,
Najwyższa to pora, by zdechł Hackenkreutz - Maciora
więc jej blade kurduple spieprzać, poszli won!
Czerwoni już blisko...
Decyzja- Zaczynać,
Zaczynać- Decyzja!
Do broni Bracia Polaki,
Polsko Walcząca, Rodaki,
Ruszaj na Germańca,
Ruszaj na Germańca, jak do tańca!
Niech żyje Polska - Niepodległa!
The song "1939/Przed Burzą" by the Polish rock band Lao Che is a powerful and intense tribute to the Polish resistance during World War II. The lyrics describe the frustration and anger of those who cherish freedom and are now oppressed by the Nazis. The failed attempt to assassinate Hitler is mentioned, and the band expresses their unwavering commitment to the cause of freedom, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
The first verse is a reflection on the conflicting emotions that come with a desire for freedom. The singer loves and understands freedom, but is unable to give it up, even in the face of imprisonment and oppression. The reference to "Nazistowskiego wy ducha wypierdy" (which roughly translates to "expel the Nazi spirit") highlights the desire to rid the world of the oppressive Nazi regime. The second verse focuses on the underground resistance, which consists of three people - the singer, Pędzel (Brush), and Farba Biała (White Paint). Despite their small numbers, the trio is committed to fighting for their city and their country. The lyrics are filled with references to freedom and rebellion, with lines such as "Kotwica wydrapie Buntu pazury" (which roughly translates to "The anchor will scratch the claws of the rebellion") and "Podziemie jego więzione- zawsze wolnym jest" (which roughly translates to "Its underground is always free despite being imprisoned").
The chorus is a call to arms, urging the Polish people to fight against the Germans. The lyrics "Do broni Bracia Polaki, Polsko Walcząca, Rodaki/Ruszaj na Germańca, Ruszaj na Germańca, jak do tańca!" (which roughly translates to "To arms, Polish brothers, fighting Poland, kinsmen/Rush towards the German, rush towards the German, like it's a dance!") is a powerful rallying cry, urging the people to fight for their country and their freedom.
Overall, the song is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Polish people during World War II. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, they refused to give up and continued to fight for their freedom and their country.
