Colour Haze is a prominent figure within the stoner rock and psychedelic rock genre, hailing from Munich, Germany. Formed in the mid-1990s, the band originally leaned more towards a heavy, doom-oriented sound but has since evolved to embrace a more melodic and atmospheric approach. The core of the band has consistently been frontman Stefan Koglek, whose guitar work and vocals drive the trio's expansive and improvisational style. Accompanied by bassist Philipp Rasthofer and drummer Manfred Merwald, the group has developed a distinctive sonic identity characterized by dense, swirling guitar textures and a dynamic rhythm section.

Over the years, Colour Haze has built a devoted international following, largely through word of mouth and the reputation of their entrancing live performances. With an extensive discography that showcases their growing maturity and psychedelic exploration, Colour Haze has enjoyed critical acclaim within their niche. Key releases like "In Her Garden" and "To the Highest Gods We Know" demonstrate their mastery of blending intricate compositions with spontaneous jam elements while maintaining a groove-laden foundation. Their efforts to revisit and remaster earlier works such as "All," "We Are," and "Temple" indicate a commitment to preserving and refreshing their musical legacy, serving both longtime fans and newcomers to the Colour Haze odyssey. Live recordings, particularly "Live Vol. 1 Europa Tournee 2015," capture the raw power and fluid improvisation that have become hallmarks of the band’s enduring appeal.
