Jaded Heart is a popular German hard rock band who formed in 1990 when Michael Bormann (vocals) and his brother Dirk (guitar) began searching for other suitable band members. The following year Michael Müller (bassist, ex THE SYGNET) and former MAD MAX drummer Axel Kruse joined to finalise the first line up. In 1994, the band recruited keyboardist Chris Ivo shortly after the release of the first album "INSIDE OUT", a solid debut with strong melodic tunes throughout.

Following their motto “be quick or be dead”, "MYSTERY EYES", their third studio album, was released in December 1997 on Teichiku Records in Japan. Shortly afterwards, the album was released in the band's home country. In June 1998, guitarist Barish Kepic joined the band. Their fourth album, simply called "IV", was produced in the summer of 1999 by BOBBY BARTH (AXE, GUILD OF AGES, BLACKFOOT) in his NEH Studios in Denver, Colorado. With the production of this album in the United States, JADED HEART pushed themselves to the extremes. "IV" is still nowadays regarded as one of the greatest masterpieces of Heavy Rock of all times. In February 2001 they released their Best Of album "DIARY 1990-2000" and undertook a successful tour with Swiss Rock legends GOTTHARD around Europe. After the tour, Chris Ivo left and was replaced by Henn
