Picture for song 'Korene' by artist 'Lahka Muza'

Korene

Dark and looming industrial-classical track along the lines of a much more sexual Laibach.
Led by the powerful,seductive yet destructively powerful vocals of Gudrun, this provocative and enigmatic group blends the worlds of fetish,theater,art, and darkwave music all into one perfectly unnerving masterpiece.
Band/artist history
The history of ahká Múza In 1984 the foursome young musicians (Gudrun, 677,German H. and Dr.K) found their band. On a post punk euphoria and new wave ground arise first songs of ahká Múza. The band has traditional set-up: vocal, guitar, bass and drums. Although the band came into being in a period of culminating communism, “where everything, that was having any breath of “western“ art, was defective“, it did find its place with its new wave production on czech underground scene, that was supporting all “unofficial“ arts. In this period was releasing of records to any unofficial artist impossible and therefore all such music used to be recorded only on tapes. This way comes out in 1988 first live album “Schizofónia“. Also in competition of established czech new wave bands they do interest with their musicality, musical skill and with “fresh-ness“ of music performance. The young band as the only one from slovak bands at that time makes regularly guest appearances on actions organized on czech underground scene. In 1989 came in Czechoslovakia the end of communistic government, what immediately manifested especially on an artistic field. Many undergroud activities got finally the right for its legal existence. One of those is also a label from Prague, Black Point, that is specialized on czech underground. At the end of 1990 bass guitar player German H. leaves the band. In this period goes the band through significant transformation of musical orientation, it definitely waives from new guitar sound and tends to raw minimalistic “guitar“ industrial. This period maps studio recording “Nevinnos쳌“, which until now belongs to the “rawest”, that the band ever released. Black Point shows an interest to release both albums and so are “Schizofónia“ and “Nevinnos쳌“ released on this label in 1991. With regard to clear movement to industrial music does the band obtain an invitation to significant Industrial festival in Prague. They perform there their actual album “Nevinnos쳌“ by which they enter to the tops of czechoslovak industrial scene. However, despite all artistic success, at the end of 1991 leaves the band also its drummer, Dr.K. ahká Múza is now only a duo: Gudrun + 677. In this period they limit their concert work and start to prepare their new album “Tieò bolesti“. In 1992 it appears as their CD debut on a slovak label ZOON RECORDS. Its high sound quality (under which is signed excellent studio, professionally of sound engineer and bands self production) convince all music magazine reviewers and as follows the listeners too, that they come into contact with something very special, considering all conditions in Czechoslovakia at that time. After releasing of this album the band hires bass guitar player for their live shows. They play live in this set- up: vocal, guitar, bass + drum machine. Following great reactions on their actual album comes an offer from prestigeous club in Prague, Bunkr, to appear as a guest of an american electro band Stereo Taxice Device. The concert gets excellent reactions and that opens for ahká Múza doors to czech club scene. The band gets many offers for tours from abroad, which cannot be realized mostly of financial reasons. In 1993 Czechoslovakia falls apart and that brings along unpleasant results to band, that is well run in czech part of previous federation. At the turn of years 1994 1995 the band reaches to the very edge of “minimalistic“ industrial processes and it is looking for a way to new arrangement mains and to the overall sound expression. Gudrun and 677 surround themselves by modern machinery that allows to utilize advantages of samplers and sequencers. Co-operation with new technics and methods in arranging is clearly manifested on their second CD “Chvenie absolútna“, that appears, despite the separation of our state, on czech label INDIES RECORDS. This album presents ahká Múza as a very special electro-gothic-industrial project with an accomplished vocal performance, expressively asserted richer arrangements, hi-quality sound of samplers and characteristic dark wave atmosphere. Album had gathered success in czech music press and in the end of 1995 the band gets an offer to perform at prestigeous international music festival ALTERNATIVA in Prague. At this festival appear the tops of foreign scene Asmus Tietchens, Kapotte Music, Esplendor Geometrico, Hybrids, Co Caspar and the last day, together with ahká Múza also Test Dept. After excellent reactions to this festival had awakened some interest also in Slovakia. In Bratislavas prestigeous U-Club the band starts series of successful concerts. In contrast to czech scene, where takes the possession of the band the industrial part of their subscene, in Slovakia it is its dark wave part. In 1995 in Bratislava takes place The First Gothic Festival, where ahká Múza successfully presents its actual album. The band beside its original music presents on the scene also an impressive stylization and the whole expression is performative. Despite to remarkable distance from more traditional genres the band keeps an expressive position on czech alternative scene. And therefore in 1996 the band makes again guest appearance on festival Alternativa alongside with the legend of czech underground, DG 307. Thanks to the distribution network of INDIES RECORDS, who carry the music carriers abroad, there is many foreign positive responses. The band goes through many interviews to foreign music magazines. By the year 1997 comes to the band another bass guitar player VODA, who becoms after two years a regular member of the band. In this set up originates also material for a new album “Sen ohranièeného života“, that is released at the beginning of 1998 by slovak label SONICCA. The band on its new album presents an original fusion of electronic and their special guitar sound. There is less of sampled areas and a ritual rhythm is added up. So are specific guitar parts and exacting and very emotive vocal performance. Reviewers and listeners highly rate not only the sound part, but also an original and impressive graphic expression of CD. Realeasing of this album is supported by many interesting concert activities both in Czech and Slovak republics. At the end of 1998 do the band start up its own Internet homepage http://artist.music.sk/lahkamuza. Immediately, after the enrolment of this page into the world inspectors of dark wave, gothic, electro and industrial music,there come many positive responses to their work.
