After a pause of three years, Deine Lakaien are back with a new album, that even exceeds the high expectations. The press calls it the best album, that the band ever released. With "Kasmodiah" Deine Lakaien reached their biggest success so far: The album went directly from 0 to #4 in the German Media Control Charts and remained there for a total of 11 weeks.
"The German living legend, Deine Lakaien return out of the blue with a new album entitled "Kasmodiah".... They packed all their strongest assets in their little bag, locked themselves in their studio and wrote us their best album ever! Take "Dark Star", "Reincarnation" or yet "Love Me To The End" altogether, and you won't even equal the quality of this new album! This is a killer album featuring Alexander Veljanov at the top of his form, with his typical and so characteristic moving vocals, his unique way of expressing his lyrics... You can't imagine how quickly you start singing along with him, so much these new songs are catchy and tuneful! "Kiss The Future", "Overpaid", the slow-motion "Sometimes" or yet the wonderful top hit "Return". Ernst Horn managed once again to compose the perfect tunes for Alexander's emotions and both elements immediately enter in perfect symbiosis... It's so extraordinary, so wonderful!!! Ernst Horn still mix dark electronics with classical parts and piano lines together with some more danceable rhythm structures. Besides the more upbeat and weirdest "Lass Mich", it looks like he did his best to avoid too extreme experimentations on this new cd and probably preferred keeping them for his solo-project where he gives himself no single limit. ... It's not tomorrow that our Bavarian lords will be dethroned..." (SideLine Magazine, Belgium 4/99)
