Guckkasten

Guckkasten is a South Korean rock band renowned for their distinct sound and eclectic, often intense, live performances. The band formed in 2007 and comprises Ha Hyun-woo as the lead vocalist and guitarist, Jeon Kyu-ho on guitar, Lee Jung-gil on drums, and Kim Kibum on bass. They initially gained a reputation in the underground music scene before making a mainstream breakthrough. The name 'Guckkasten' is a German word for the 'zograscope,' a visual device that gives images more depth, a metaphor for the band's desire to present music that offers a different perspective.

The band's music is a complex mixture of psychedelic rock, hard rock, and modern rock, distinguished by Ha Hyun-woo's powerful and versatile vocal range. Over their career, they have released several albums and singles that showcase their unique musical style, with lyrics often delving into introspection, existential ponderings, and vivid storytelling. Their recent releases like "PUPPET," "YOUR NAME," and "STRANGER" continue to solidify their status in the Korean rock scene. Guckkasten has also contributed to the world of eSports, with tracks like "ULTIMATE" and "Challenge" serving as theme songs for the 2016 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) Summer season, merging the high-energy world of competitive gaming with their dynamic sound. With their dramatic flair and musical prowess, Guckkasten continues to captivate audiences both in South Korea and internationally.
