Biographies Needing Attention - Progressive Rock Music Forum

COLOUR HAZE, is a Krautrock band formed in Germany 1994, by Stefan Koglek (vocal, guitar), Tim Höfer (drums), Christian Wiesner (bass). In 1995 the release their debut “Chopping Machine” as a tree-piece, the album is in a style caught between a classic Heavy Rock (Black Sabbath), and the Grunge popular at the time (Pearl Jam). Between 1995 and 1999 the band went through a series on member changes, including singer Felix Neuenhoff replace Koglek on the vocal parts. From the recording of “Periscope” (1999), they were again reduces to a tree-piece Stefan Koglek (vocal, guitar), Manfred Merwald (drums), Philipp Rasthofer (bass). “Periscope” marks the start of the new COLOUR HAZE, with a solid and Heavy, Psychedelic Stoner Rock, clearly inspired by Jimi Hendrix but definitely also sending thoughts in the direction of the early Krautrock. Over the years the band have become a bit less heavy, exploring even more the slow buildup on very long tracks, with a warmer and softer sound, and a crafty groove.

Any album they have done from “Periscope” and onwards are worth a listen, but “Temple” 2006 mark a refinement both in their sound and the melodies they create. May be seen, as the start of the third chapter.

A highly recommended German band, still evolving modern Stoner Rock

^Good idea, shouldn't take much amendment. I'll try to do it later.

Good thread Ian, since over the years I saw hundreds of bios that were lacking or just awful. I can help where I can.

Ayreon biography needs serious revamping - one of the most popular bands on this site

Any takers? Big smile

Excellent work Ivan. A worthy biography. Clap

Now I can of course correct the mistakes in this biography but I think a rewrite is in order. It is nothing more than an album review in my opinion and not a biography at all.

Thoughts?

I once tried to correct a bio made by Eroik (Who in those days was authorized to create a link for his store) and it caused a scandal by Erik Ouch

, who said we were boycotting him, so we didn't touched the one for Chris, I wuill personally make a new one, now tghat Erik is not here.

Please Robert, make a new Echolyn bio, I'll be thankful, last week I made a one for SQUACKETT and one for a Kraut band which I was familiar with, so I know how genre teams need this help.

Thanks

Iván

Thanks for your response Ivan.

Yes I noticed it was by Erik and was wondering how best to proceed. As he is not around so much now I mean. I understand it can be a sensitive issue but this biography is not up to scratch. Thank you for stepping up to the plate.

Ian

Go for it. That one is awful.
