Following up on a stunning discography which brought them diversified comparisons to bands like LAIBACH, DAS ICH, BLUTENGEL, SKINNY PUPPY, NACHT-MAHR or yet QNTAL, the Dutch combo unleash their 4th studio album, named after a divine female in Germanic mythology. SCHWARZBLUT are so unique in their way of connecting time, geographical orientation and texts with their avant-garde and electronic music arrangements, that it clearly attests the band’s outstanding historical awareness and creativity. The new album features this time texts in a variety of historical European languages such as Middle High German, Lower Franconian, Old Lower Saxon and Old Dutch. It actually took them some 4 years to complete it, besides the splendid intermezzo collaboration release with SAELDES SANC on last year’s “Wildes Herz” split-album. They took the time to truly connect to each other and the material and concept they were working on: studying the language, life and customs of their ancestors gave the SCHWARZBLUT members valuable insights in their own habits, beliefs and traditions. And by putting all this into music, the band once again hands out a more than valuable testimony.
Released Late April 2018 by Alfa Matrix.
