LDH was founded in 1999 and sets religious texts by European poets and authors(Goethe,Rilke,Ibsen,...) into music.However,in the future they intend to integrate more and more of their own lyrics into their repertoire.One could divide LDH's history in three phases.The first years(1999-2001)were mainly a time of musical experimentation,all songs were performed in English.The recordings were made under the most simple circumstances and were available in vinyl only.The main theme in this phase was the immortality of the human soul.The second phase(2002-2005)began with the recordings of "Aryana" and lasted until the release of "Himmlische Feuer".The confrontation and argumentation with god was the central influence in these difficult times.The loss of the dearest and most important person in the protagonist's life dominated their art and being.From this time on German(the expressivness of the mother tongue)has been the only used language.A new studio,a new hope,a fresh start(with the mini-album"Gloria")followed in 2006.In this third phase the use of acoustic instruments became very important.In september 2007 "Orden der LDH" was founded with the most intrusted friends.The autumn 2008 will bring the new cd "MEMORIA".
