Deine Lakaien – ‘Kasmodiah’ CD

‘Kasmodiah’ is an album written by Deine Lakaien. It was released in 1999.

The album ranked #5 on the German Alternative Charts (DAC) in 1999, while the album track ‘Return’ ranked #2 on the DAC singles charts the same year.

Despite all superlatives of this debut with a major label, ‘Kasmodiah’ contains songs that certainly do not fit into the scheme of a hit album.

The ironic ‘Lass mich (Dein Lakai sein),’ almost improvised by Alexander Veljanov, ‘Fight’ with its extreme breaks, or the cynic ‘Overpaid’ form a strong contrast to the introverted ballades.

The work matured for a long time due to the especially long preparation time and the formative lyrics of Alexander Veljanov, before the offers of the record companies were considered with the production-ready at hand.

Another novelty was the active involvement of the long-standing live musicians Christian Komorowski and Michael Popp in the studio recordings.
