Blutengel - Dämonen:Sturm (Limited Dark Green Vinyl) - 2LP
Prepare to descend into the dark and turbulent world of Blutengel’s brand new masterpiece “Dämonen:Sturm”.
This album pulls listeners into the stormy depths of our innermost struggles, exploring the “inner demons” we face. Not the monsters we know from horror movies, but those dark forces within, the ones that haunt, challenge and sometimes even break us. On 25 new songs, Chris Pohl channels the powerful emotions tied to depression, fear, self-discovery and loss, crafting an album that’s both intensely personal and universally resonant.
With “Dämonen:Sturm”, Blutengel stay true to their signature sound while fearlessly venturing into new territory. Fans will recognize the epic, anthemic style in tracks like “Tausend Leben” and “Wir sind der Sturm”, but they will also find chilling songs like “The Right Path” that evoke a dark, haunting ambiance. The ballads, more abundant on this album, bring a raw, intimate touch, as Chris writes in the first person on tracks like “Ivory Tower” and “I Will Surrender”, offering glimpses into his own personal battles.
Musically, “Dämonen:Sturm” is a journey through textures and tempos, from gritty, stomping rock beats on “Angst” to retro-electro influences in “She Wears Black”. The album even takes daring steps away from Blutengel’s usual sound, with tracks like “Bleeding Out”, an unexpected gem that expands this new record’s sonic range. The production keeps a deliberately rough and “dirty” edge, amplifying the raw energy and vulnerability of each song. Longtime fans of Blutengel’s atmospheric instrumentals will also be delighted by the album’s haunting instrumental tracks, enhancing the shadowy and immersive experience.
