Blutengel (German: Blood Angel) is a German darkwave musical group with a vampiric attitude.
Blutengel was formed in 1998 in Germany, after singer Chris Pohl (Terminal Choice) left his former band “Seelenkrank” . Later, the music project returned with a new label and also a new name: Blutengel. The lyrics are primarily in German and/or English and mixed between male and female vocals paired with electronic sounds and with songs often focusing on all aspects of love, from the tragedy of hopeless romance all the way to the more animal aspects of desire.
The female vocals were originally performed by Kati Roloff and Nina Bendigkeit when Blutengel’s debut album Child of Glass was released in 1999. Although the first album was successful, not much was heard from the band for a while for the next two years while they worked on their next album Seelenschmerz.
In the meantime, the line-up had changed. In 2000 or so Nina(at that time the main female vocal) had become successful with her photographer career, so she left the band and then Kati became the main female voice and for the 2nd female vocalist, Gini Martin was found. “Children of the Night”, “Der Spiegel”, “Soul of Ice”’ among many others made “Seelenschmerz” so successful that it just missed appearing in the German Top 100.
At the end of 2001, the single Black Roses appeared with Constance Rudert as a session singer and the band performed at the Dark Storm Festival in which Constance also appeared as a guest besides Kati and Gini on the stage. Further, this was the last time the band would play with its original line-up.

I like their music, and the vocals but the lyrics are... my very definition of fail. I didn't listen to a bunch of their songs, but I giggle everytime I hear "Lucifer". People in the metro/bus probably think I have problems.
