Founded in 2007, SCHWARZBLUT is a 5-piece band from the
Netherlands that blends romantic melancholic Weimar poetry with
danceable dark electronic music. On their dark electro
industrial 2nd full-length album "Maschinenwesen", they pay a
tribute to German poetry from the era of industrial revolution -
a time in which some could explore and progress, as much as
others suffered exploitation, misfortune and disease.
As always, SCHWARZBLUT used historical poetry by a variety of
writers, taken from the band's very own collection of centuries
old books. In thirteen tracks the band paints a picture with
romantic, melancholic yet also grim touches. As all poems have
their own character, so do the songs that make up
"Maschinenwesen". Going from EBM dance-floor killers such as "An
den Todesengel", "Schlupoetik" and "Ein Schatten" to
atmospheric electro tracks like "Einst" and "Der Schwere Abend".
The track "Die Fabrik" is a massive machine-ridden song that
leads you right into an 18th century steel factory, whereas the
triptych "Gesang der Geister uber den Wassern" is a classical
avant-garde masterpiece, featuring several guest vocalists and
film score-like orchestrations. For the beautifully haunting
track "Nomen Est Omen" the band went to a special studio to
record the choir parts that give this track its grandeur.
SCHWARZBLUT reinforce their eclectic style diversity that
accentuates a beautiful duality between male and female
vocalists. They surprise us more than ever by mixing pounding
electro rhythms, harmonic choirs, distorted vocals, cutting
leads, grandiloquent orchestras, dark romanticism and German
lyrical poetry.
