About Blutengel
Blutengel is a German electronic project from Berlin. Chris Pohl founded it in 1998 after ending his earlier project Seelenkrank, which had released two albums, over contractual problems. Pohl handles vocals, lyrics and programming, and has also worked in Terminal Choice, Tumor and Miss Construction, plus runs the Fear Section label.
The early lineup included vocalists Nina Bendigkeit, from 1998 to 2000, and Kati Roloff, from 1998 to 2002. Ulrike Goldmann joined in 2005 on vocals and lyrics and forms the current core of the project with Pohl.
The first release was “Child of Glass” in 1999 followed by “Seelenschmerz” in 2001, “Angel Dust” in 2002 and “Demon Kiss” in 2004. Later albums include “Labyrinth” in 2007, “Schwarzes Eis” in 2009, “Tränenherz” in 2011, “Monument” in 2013 and “Un:Gott” in 2019. The band marked its 25th year with “Un:Sterblich – Our Souls Will Never Die” in 2023 and released “Dämonen: Sturm” in February 2025.
Recent singles include “Dark History” in 2023, “Angst” in 2024 and “The Devil” in October 2025. With “Schwarzer Engel”, Blutengel adds a new single and a July CD edition to a catalogue that now spans more than 25 years. Make sure to check out our Blutengel interview with Chris Pohl.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
