The Profile

Colour Haze are a German psychedelic/stoner rock band from Munich, founded in 1994 and led by guitarist/vocalist Stefan Koglek. Reviews highlight their long-form, fuzz-heavy jams, 70s-leaning psychedelia, and a core lineup long centered on Koglek with drummer Manfred “Manni” Merwald and bassist Philipp Rasthofer; later releases add keyboards.

From the reviews: founded in Munich in August 1994; early lineup included Christian Wieser (bass) and Tim Hofer (drums); by 1998 the lineup featured Manfred Merwald (drums) and Philipp Rasthofer (bass). Stefan Koglek is described as guitarist and singer; the band is associated with the Elektrohasch label/scene, and Koglek took the label name from the track “Elektrohash”.

Across 12 reviews, Colour Haze are framed as a Munich stoner/psychedelic rock mainstay driven by Stefan Koglek’s guitar, with long, acidic jams and a 70s-leaning sound. Multiple writers call out Los Sounds De Krauts and the early-2000s run as peak-era material, while later work We Are is treated as a comfortable “refuge album” with added keyboard textures. The debut Chopping Machine is described as darker and harder than later records. Live impressions emphasize the band’s humble vibe and the cult-scene context around their shows.
