Karat is a German rock and progressive rock band that began in the former East Germany in 1975. Formed from the ashes of a jazz fusion band Karat took a more melodic rock and than jazz approach with prog rock lyrics by poet Kurt Demmler and later by journalist Norbert Kaiser. Although initially operating from behind the Iron Curtain within a highly censored cultural environment, Karat were able to sell into both their home state and West Germany with their successful LP 'Der Blaue Planet' in 1982. The band continued to gig and produce albums and singles throughout the 1980s, with their LP '... Im Nächsten Frieden' coming out shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The late 1990s brought legal wrangles and a brief name change to K.! before the law turned in favour of the band members and in 2007 they reverted to the original name once again. The band, with no original members - but with Claudius Dreilich the son of founder member Herbert Dreilich (who died in 2004) on vocals - gigged again, and released a studio LP called 'Labyrinth' in 2018.
