I recently got into Blutengel when I heard their latest effort "The Oxidising Angel" (3 new songs plus a few remixes). I immediately fell in love with Chris Pohl's deep, hypnotic voice. Two of my favorite songs on the cd is "Angels of the Dark" and "Navigator" which led me to buy their last studio effort "Demon Kiss". Needless to say I was not disappointed in what I heard. "Demon Kiss" is 75 minutes of aural bliss. The music is a seductive blend of goth, EBM, and industrial. I aboslutely love the original version of "Angels of the Dark" which is slightly slower than the remixed version on "The Oxidisng Angel" yet remains as intoxicatingly infectious. What I love most about Blutengel is how danceable and melodic their music is. It did not take much for me to become a tremendous fan of the German band. Most of the songs on "Demon Kiss" consists of clean vocals but there are a few tracks where Chris Pohl's vocals turns gruff like on "Love Killer". It is different hearing Chris growl but I liked it. One of my personal favorite songs on the album is the gorgeous piano ballad "Stay". That song simply took my breathe away. I could not find one song on "Demon Kiss" that I did not like. All of the songs are great.

This album is my favorite from Blutengel, and contains most of Blutengel's classics: the ones they keep playing even to this day. The most famous ones: Angels of the Dark, Forever and Navigator; and others such as Love Killer, Ice Angel, Go To Hell?, Resurrection... I think pretty much all of their songs here could be singles, if we were to get into that. If you are just getting into Blutengel this is the album for you. Of course, Labyrinth is a bit more polished, but this one has all the most popular and fan-liked.
