Blutengel have set out to lure us into their labyrinth … and, like in the ancient lore, it is inhabited by fabled creatures, dark angels and vampires, with a myriad of gloomy, romantic tales woven around its very existence. The path inside is not burdensome, as the masters of Dark Pop are tempting us with enticing vocal arrangements, catchy tunes and dance floor compatible beats. In Blutengel’s “Labyrinth”, one is in no need for a guiding thread ensuring a safe path outside … the magnetic pull of these dark anthems is too great as that one would ever long to escape them again. The album includes the charts-approved single “Lucifer” as well as 14 other sonic gems, all sporting the trademark Blutengel-sound that always finds the right balance between dark romantic elegies and club-oriented tracks. Music, lyrics and artwork have been masterfully intertwined to bring to life the underlying concept of the labyrinth…With “Labyrinth”, Blutengel have matured … without losing any of the appeal of their earlier releases. Quite to the contrary: it is highly doubtful that Chris Pohl, Ulrike Goldmann and Constance Rudert have ever delivered an album of this high intensity.Released mid-September 2007 on Out of Line.Track Listing:01 Into the labyrinth02 Singing dead men03 A new dawn04 Beauty and delight05 Dreamland06 Gloomy shadows07 Shame08 Body move09 When the rain is falling…10 I remember (everything)11 Lucifer12 Sunrise13 Behind your mask14 Engelsblut15 Escape (outro)
