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".

Cięgi zbiera z chłopskiej ręki
A po tańcach chłopce młode
Łobili mi łobili mi zadek srodze
Pasy drzyjta ryjta kłaki
Tak dla fraszki tak dla draki
Żadna baba nie całuje kiedy
Chlipie diable
Chlipie diable pod figurą
Nikt już nie ma
Nikt już nie ma mnie pod skórą
Nikt za kołnierz
Wskoczyć nie da nikt nie da
Ścisła ogon tęga bieda
Chlipie diable
Chlipie diable pod figurą
Nikt już nie ma
Nikt już nie ma mnie pod skórą
Nikt za kołnierz
Wskoczyć nie da nikt nie da
Ścisła ogon tęga bieda
Nazad w pikło wliźć nie sposób
Posiałech wytrych po ćmóku
A I tak by lucypera
Kułak luty kułak luty sponiewierał
Pasy drzyjta ryjta kłaki
Tak dla fraszki tak dla draki
Żadna baba nie całuje kiedy
Gęba siarką pluje
Chlipie diable
Chlipie diable pod figurą
Nikt już nie ma
Nikt już nie ma mnie pod skórą
Nikt za kołnierz
Wskoczyć nie da nikt nie da
Ścisła ogon tęga bieda
Chlipie diable
Chlipie diable pod figurą
Nikt już nie ma
Nikt już nie ma mnie pod skórą
Nikt za kołnierz
Wskoczyć nie da nikt nie da
Ścisła ogon tęga bieda
The lyrics of Lao Che's song "Królowa" delve into themes of struggle, defiance, and a sense of being marginalized or outcast. The opening lines, "Sam samiutki samiuteńki / Cięgi zbiera z chłopskiej ręki," suggest a feeling of isolation and vulnerability, with the singer seemingly collecting blows from a peasant's hand. This imagery sets the tone for the rest of the song as it delves into the experiences of the singer facing hardships and mistreatment.
The following lines, "A po tańcach chłopce młode / Łobili mi łobili mi zadek srodze," portray a scene of violence and aggression, where young boys harshly target and assault the singer. This depiction of abuse and betrayal further adds to the sense of struggle and pain that the singer is experiencing, highlighting the harsh realities they are facing in their environment.
The repeated refrain, "Chlipie diable, chlipie diable pod figurą," seems to convey a sense of defiance and resilience in the face of adversity. The singer acknowledges the challenges they are up against, with references to feeling alone and misunderstood. The lines, "Nikt już nie ma mnie pod skórą / Nikt za kołnierz, wskoczyć nie da nikt nie da," express a feeling of being disregarded or not fitting in, with no one truly understanding or accepting the singer for who they are.
The imagery of "Pasy drzyjta ryjta kłaki" and the mention of spitting sulfur alludes to a harsh and hostile environment where violence and contempt reign. The overall tone of the song conveys a sense of bitterness and disillusionment, with the repeated references to suffering and hardship. The lyrics paint a stark picture of a protagonist who is facing difficult circumstances and struggling to find a sense of belonging or acceptance in a world that seems to be against them.

Sam samiutki samiuteńki
Alone, all alone
Cięgi zbiera z chłopskiej ręki
Picking up scraps from peasant hands
A po tańcach chłopce młode
And after dances, young lads
Łobili mi łobili mi zadek srodze
They whipped me, whipped me severely
Pasy drzyjta ryjta kłaki
Buckle up, shut up, scoundrels
Tak dla fraszki tak dla draki
Just for show, just for a fight
Żadna baba nie całuje kiedy
No woman kisses when
Gęba siarką pluje
Her mouth spits sulfur
Chlipie diable
The devil cries
Chlipie diable pod figurą
The devil cries behind a mask
Nikt już nie ma
No one has
Nikt już nie ma mnie pod skórą
No one has me under their skin anymore
Nikt za kołnierz
No one behind the collar
Wskoczyć nie da nikt nie da
No one can jump in, no one is able
Ścisła ogon tęga bieda
Strict tail, severe poverty
Nazad w pikło wliźć nie sposób
There's no way to go back to hell
Posiałech wytrych po ćmóku
I've lost the key at the crossroads
A I tak by lucypera
And still, Lucifer
Kułak luty kułak luty sponiewierał
With a strong fist, he ridiculed
