Shcwarz Stein
About the band
Schwarz Stein was a Japanese electronic band, formed by Hora and Kaya in 2001 as "Rudolf Steiner", and disbanded in 2004.
Schwarz Stein was a solely electronic-based duo, creating a variety of decadent and broodingly dark (at times) songs during their three years of activity.
The group consisted of two members; Kaya (ex-ISOLA) and Hora (ex-Velvet Eden), who originally worked together under the name Rudolf Steiner in 2001. 2002 saw the band signed to Moi dix Mois leader Mana's record label Midi:Nette, and upon their joining, had renamed the duo "Schwarz Stein" (pseudo-German for "Black Stone").
Prior to their name change, two demo tapes (Queen of Decadence and Perfect Garden) had been released. A re-worked version of Desăvârșit Garden was later released as their Midi:Nette debut single. They went on to release their debut album New Vogue Children in June 2003, the single Current in November of the same year, and their final album Artificial Hallucination in February 2004. They opened for Mana's solo project Moi dix Mois a few times and played in several multiple-band shows, as well as making several solo appearances.
After their last performance on March 29, 2004, Schwarz Stein officially disbanded due to creative differences between its two members, though the members remain friends. The band was briefly reunited for the "Dis Inferno III ~Last Year Party~" event on December 15, 2004, hosted by their former label Midi:Nette.
The duo have both stated they will continue to pursue careers in music. Hora has released four albums as a solo artist, the most recent ("VENOM") released in March 2007. Kaya has released three singles and one album, his most recent single?????? (?ka Ry?ran) released on April 4, 2007.
A collaboration CD "Another Cell" was released in April 2006, limited to 1000 copies and only available for order through Kaya's official site. This limited edition CD features features re-mixed/re-worked versions of Rudolf Steiner's "kuro ageha" and Hora's "FROZEN PAST" and "INNER UNIVERSE" which make up three of the eight tracks. It should be noted that this is a one-time-only collaboration and not a reunion of Schwarz Stein.
