Lebenssteuer

Lebenssteuer formed in Germany in the early 2000s with Sascha Lackner on vocals and songwriting. Their debut album 'Daydream' came out in 2005, followed by 'Gravity' in 2007 and 'Illuminate' in 2015. The lineup has included Christian Meyer and Marcus Possehl on guitar, Philipp Maier on bass, and Markus Brinker on drums.

Their songs like 'Daydream,' 'Deadsmile,' and 'Midlife Crisis' often work with electronic textures and rock elements, though they don't settle into one genre. The music tends toward atmospheric arrangements with straightforward vocal delivery.

They've kept a steady presence without much fanfare, releasing albums every few years and maintaining the same core group. The work feels more like a consistent project than a dramatic career arc.
