If you like EBM/Industrial/DarkWave music you gotta have the CDs from Blutengel !!!! Chris's singing is extremyl cool while the female vocals could be better but still are good ! The individual tracks danceable and relaxable ! There are 3 other albums out from Blutengel, each one better than this debupt album (while child of glass still rocks !), whihc are "Seelenschmerz" (THE BEST ALBUM!!!), "Angel Dust" and "Demon Kiss" .
If you get a chance of seeing Blutengel live, go for it !! Their live show is unlike any other, extremly cool with lotsa things happening , lots of performance and pyro :)

I own about three Blutengel CDs and I like them all. Blutengel's sound is haunting, beautiful, and addictive. It always surprises me how well the music is produced, mixed and put together.
However, the thing that tends to get annoying to the point where I sometimes either start laughing, or turn the CD off are the lyrics. Being German and living in America, I consistently notice the lack of creativity, sense and the grammar errors in some of the English songs. The lyrics tend to be very simplistic and seem to be geared towards "rhyming." Since I tend to look for a combination of great lyrics and great sound, I cannot give Blutengel five stars in my rating. The lyrics are actually quite bad in both, German AND English.
However, if one is merely looking for great sound and couldn't care less about what is being said I would highly recommend Blutengel. So my advice: Close your eyes, listen to the beat and sound, but don't pay attention to the words.

what can I say about 'Seelenschmerz' ? Rather, what can't I say ? Epitopy of perfection, seems accurate. Albums such as this are few and very far in between, consisting solely of masterpieces, not since 1987's "Abigail" have I had the pleasure of listening to such a perect album.

Seelenkrank, Terminal Choice, Tumor and of course Blutengel... they are all direct- or side-projects of a genius called Chriss Pohl. He lives and works in Berlin where all this beautiful music comes from. Personally, Seelenkrank is my favorite... Enjoy..

I agree with hexerin, the lyrics do not vary and I am constantly finding grammatical errors in both their English and German errors (I'm part German also). Some of their songs could have been a lot better had they proofread them, but I guess it's for rhyme sake that they are that way. Anyway, enough ranting about one of my favorite goth bands...I bought this cd after Hearing "No God" and got hooked. Chris' voice is absolutely stunning and great to listen to no matter what language he's singing in. The same goes for the female vocalists; they are strong and suit the theme of vampires and death quite well. From their haunting instrumental tunes to their catchy dark lyrics, if you love goth/vampiric music, their cd's are a must have for your collection no matter what the cost! Here's a breakdown of may favorite songs:

5. Das Blut Der Ewigkeit (The Blood of Eternity): a dark techno-style chant that has a vampiric edge to it
8. Du Tanzt (You Dance): this dark song makes me dance every time
10. No God: this song has a bit of techno bits and borders on industrial with some interesting lyrics
13. Demon Of Temptation: this dark tune had me dancing with its slow then upbeat transformation throughout the song

WHAT IS THERE NOT TO SAY BOUT THIS GREAT VAMPIRIC GOTH BAND...??

OH MY GOD- THIS BAND IS THE GREATEST [TOP NOTCH]..
I HAVE ALL THEIR CD'S, AND IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING THE NEW ONE..
"NO ETERNITY."

BLUTENGEL FOREVER!
Das Blut Der Ewigkeit
