Mondeville, France. (1994 – present)

Blut aus Nord is a black metal band from Mondeville, France.

The name “Blut aus Nord” is German and literally translates to “Blood From North”.

The band started in 1994 as a solo project, with Vindsval playing all instruments under the name Vlad. He released two demos under this title before changing the projects name to Blut Aus Nord before the release of Ultima Thulée in 1995. The next three albums were recorded with the aid of session musicians: It is only recently that the group has had any permanent members apart from Vindsval (who also played in The Eye and Children of Maani).

The project’s most critically acclaimed release is The Work Which Transforms God, a concept album which - in spite of being mostly instrumental with none of the lyrics made public - is meant to challenge the listener’s prejudices and preconceptions about reality, life and various metaphysical subjects. The Work Which Transforms God has been almost unanimously praised in reviews and was named by Terrorizer Magazine as its number one album of 2003.

Other full length albums from Blut aus Nord include

- Ultima Thulée 1995 (Black metal)
- Memoria Vetusta I: Fathers of the Icy Age 1996 (Black metal)
- The Mystical Beast of Rebellion 2001 (Black Metal)
- The Work Which Transforms God 2003 (Industrial/ ambient/ black metal)
- Metamorphosis of Realistic Theories 2006 (Industrial, black metal, avant-garde)
- Odinist - The Destruction of Reason By Illumination 2007 (Black metal)
- Memoria Vetusta II: Dialogue With The Stars 2009 (Avant-garde, black metal)

A lot of shouts have been disappearing randomly for no apparent reason. It seems to have started happening since they introduced the confirmation for shout deletion.

I listened to them back to back, and it was really like listening to two entirely different bands. It's impressive that one band can offer such diverse pieces of music.

...and there's something about "Procession of the Dead Clowns" that is just mind-bending.

MVII is transcendent. I thought TWWTG was their best until I realised the importance and scope of MVII.

I have to go back and listen to the two MV records again, but I still really love TWWTG more than any of their other albums.

"Ultima Thulée" is my favorite album. They have som other good stuff, but nothing really comes close to ultima.

There really isn't another record like Heresie. And I can definitely see why MoRT would be someone's favourite. I have to be in the right mood to listen to it but when I am it's probably their most effective release. MVII is my favourite overall though. It's a great record to listen to right before bed.

MoRT is my favourite BaN record, I would go as far to say that Heresie surpasses Blut Aus Nord, Dso and The Axis of Perdition in terms of 'evilness' and sinister atmosphere, truly awesome album.

All of BaN's output is great. Even Mort, which seems to be their most controversial release; it has a sinister atmosphere to it that few other records come anywhere near close to duplicating (oddly enough, Univers Zero's Heresie is one record that does, as does a lot of Deathspell Omega's output). Also my vinyl of MVII came in and it's absolutely gorgeous. Probably going to rip it tomorrow after work.
