It started off calm and collected and ended urgent and collected. “Deja Vu” however, remains her most artistically brave clip to date. While a re-edit never actually happened, the one time Beyoncé herself challenged to being more than just the pretty girl in the video, she was ridiculed for essentially doing something different. They weren’t down with the shaky and in-and-out camera movements how aloof she was behaving in the video her ode to African dance got lost in translation, and the Beyhive particularly cringed when she danced somewhat erotically (and nearly) atop of Jay-Z’s during his verse. Directed by the acclaimed Sophie Muller, known for her work with No Doubt and indie acts, this was her first-time collaborating with King B and it was a controversial one for the fans especially that actually demanded a re-edit. In “Deja Vu,” while Beyoncé looked as beautiful as ever, it was a chaotic clip that showed a frenzied New Orleans belle on the verge of implosion from infatuation. The third album, Ejected, released DEJA VU in Apvia Infernö Records.No one really knew what to expect from B when she dropped “Deja Vu.” Though it was all experimental for the contemporary R&B artist that, let’s be honest, could be categorized as that sexy female artist that gyrates suggestively enough to attract approving glances and just looks cute. The absolute highlight of the band's touring history was without a doubt their 2010 appearance at the Basinfirefest in the Czech Republic where DEJA VU performing on the same bill which also include such influential metal giants as Testament, Venom, Ektomorf and various others. The band continues to play various concerts including visits to Switzerland for such events as the Heavy X-mas and Rock im Zelt festivals which Stephan Moro organized. The band's concert highlights include the 2007 Sword Brother Festival, 2009 Keep it True and Pounding Metal Festivals. Thanks to good reviews, this was followed up in 2008 with "Decibel Disease" and with each release the fanbase began to grow. In the winter of 2000, Werner, Timo and Stephan took of hold of their eternal metal flame and with an old friend of many years named Wolpo Wohlhaupter on bass, began their first reunon shows playing older material and it was received so well that the band decided in 2005 to return to the studio and write new material which resulted in the album "Bullets to Spare". Stephan Moro explains "there was mainly a lack of gigs" and the band members began sinking into their private trades to get by. After countles gigs, the band began to lose it's perspective surrounded by an atmosphere declaring that metal was almost dead. In 1991 the band recorded the single "Sweet Cheat / Back to the City" which was limited to 500 copies and they wee swallowed up immediately. Vocalist/Guitarist Werner Kerscher laid down his guitar to focus above all on his vocals as the band brought in the seminal Karl Heinz Semmelmann with his creative lead guitar technique that helped form the nucleus of Deja Vu's sound. By early 1987, the band performed it's first gig at the Jugendzentrum in Bogen, Bavaria to a crowd of 150 frenetic, stage diving headbangers and it was the onset of a slightly thrashy approach to Deja Vu's early sound. Next, they found capable bandmates with Stephan Moro on drums and Alfons Klostermaier on bass who were already dedicated and driven towards a life of metal. Werner recalls: "We didn'treally care as long as it was loud and heavy". Back then, they only knew that a guitar had six strings and in an emergency, how to tune it. The origin of DEJA VU dates back to 1987 when Werner Kerscher and Timo Zach both saw the band Overkill (Saturday, April 11, 1987, in Regensburg) on their very first European tour and the idea was born to form a heavy metal band.
