About

Colour Haze is a German heavy psychedelic rock band from Munich, founded in August 1994 by guitarist and vocalist Stefan Koglek. Over three decades they have grown from a local stoner trio into one of the most influential acts in the European underground, credited with coining the term 'heavy psychedelic' as a genre. Their 14-album discography, released on Koglek's own Elektrohasch Schallplatten label, blends fuzz-driven riffs, jazz-inflected improvisation and krautrock-style trance grooves.
