Dual+ – a musical unboxing
22.11.2021 / Deine Lakaien /

Just recently Deine Lakaien released Dual, a concept double album that thrilled old and new fans alike. Unfortunately, the tour had to be postponed until next year because of the Corona pandemic. Instead, this Friday the band presents us with another album - Dual+. We were already allowed to listen and can thus tell you: It’s a surprise package that has it all!

“Dual” - a review: The Beauty in Life
25.04.2021 / Deine Lakaien /

In dark, difficult times, it is important not to forget the beauty in life. Right now, we can probably all use rays of hope well.

DEINE LAKAIEN <br>“XXX.-The 30 Years Retrospective”

HELIUM VOLA “Wohin?” <br>- Searching for a direction

Finally it has happened: The new Helium Vola Album, which Ernst Horn announced more than a year ago, has been released. This delay is due to the fact that our beloved composer cannot work without a concept not matter how hard he tries. Thus, the album is not called “Quodlibet” (Lat. “as you like”) anymore but “Wohin?” (“Where to?”). And it truly is kind of a situation of life analysis with a question mark remaining at the end.

HELIUM VOLA<br>“Für Euch, die Ihr Liebt”

There it is, finally, the new Helium Vola Album “Für Euch, die Ihr liebt”, which we have awaited so impatiently. And here I wrote down my first impressions. Before I start to go into the individual songs, let me summarize by saying it is “WOW”, this album is just marvellous.
