ROCKSTORY

"( BLUTENGEL )"

"“The German group Blutengel (Blood Angel) were founded by singer Chris Pohl, after contractual and legal problems forced him to exit the popular German band Seelenkrank. Blutengel is an electronica pop group with goth overtones, and has gone through a few member changes while sticking to a configuration of one male and two female singers. They sing in German and in English and the songs usually centre around themes common in Gothic fiction such as love, vampirism, sexual fetishism, death and immortality. The original two female singers were photographer and singer Nina Bendigkeit and Katie Roloff. Bendigkeit left after the debut album, Child of Glass, which was released to modest club success in 1999. It was an amicable parting, as Bendigkeit would later work on the band's publicity materials; she was replaced as a vocalist by Gini Martin. The next album, Seelenschmerz, continued to develop the band's fan base in Germany, with several singles garnering airplay; it was enough for Pohl and the group to finally perform live, and their debut performance was for 10,000 fans at a festival in Leipzig. The success strained relationships in the band, and in 2001 both Roloff and Martin left Blutengel to found the group Tristesse de la Lune, stating that Pohl's leadership had become overbearing. They were replaced by Eva Pölzing and session singer Constance Rudert. The next album proved to be the band's breakthrough in Germany -- Angel Dust placed 58th in the Top 100 albums of the year, and the singles "Angel of the Night" and "Vampire Romance" were national hits. Pohl retooled their live show, turning it into a theatrical spectacle, featuring dancers, pyrotechnics, and melodramatic gothic sets and costumes. Only the three singers and dancers were visible to the audience, as the musicians were either hidden or taped. They became darlings of the European electronic festival circuit, and steadily built an ever larger fan base. Another album and the band finally toured overseas, visiting the U.S.A., Mexico, and England in 2005, and gaining a U.S. release for the CD Demon Kiss. In 2005 Eva Pölzing left the group for personal reasons, and was replaced by Ulrike Goldmann. The constant lineup changes did not bother the group's fan base and sales from their albums continued to grow with each new release. Beginning with 2007's Labyrinth, Blutengel began a slow rise to the top of the charts, culminating with 2013's Monument, which reached number four on the German charts. Over the following years another 5 albums saw the light which included Omen/Save Us 2015, Leitbild "Model"2017, Un:Gött "Ungodly" 2019, Erlösung "Salvation or Redemption" – The Victory of Light 2021 and in 2023: Un:Sterblich "Immortal"– Our Souls Will Never Die. 2025 saw the release of their latest work Damonen Sturm "Demons: Storm" "
