Biography
Deine Lakaien, a German band project, was formed in 1985 by vocalist Alexander Veljanov and composer/multi-instrumentalist Ernst Horn. Veljanov, born in the Republic of North Macedonia, met Horn in Munich while studying film and theatre. Their debut album Deine Lakaien, released in April 1986, was self-distributed with an edition of 500 records. The track "Colour-Ize" became an underground hit, though the band's success remained locally restrained until they signed with ClassX Records in 1990. Their second album Dark Star (January 1991) marked a significant breakthrough. The accompanying tour featured live performances without playback, supported by violinist Christian Komorowski and multi-instrumentalist Michael Popp. In October 1993, the band released Forest Enter Exit, their first charting album. Notable tours included the Dark Moon Tour in December 1992 and the Forest Enter Exit tour in November-December 1993. The band continued to release albums such as Acoustic (1995), Kasmodiah (1999), and White Lies (January 7, 2002). In 2016, they released a retrospective album titled XXX. The 30 Years Retrospective.
