Often described as one of the most promising talents signed by Alfa Matrix in 2009, the Dutch act SCHWARZBLUT now deliver this impressive follow-up album to last year's "Sehlenwolf" EP.
"Das Mausoleum" is a ten-track album that reveals the rich artistic versatility and mature song-writing potential of SCHWARZBLUT, who blend romantic melancholic Weimar poetry with danceable dark electronic music. An eclectic diversity of style that accentuates a beautiful duality between male and female vocalists. With the rich depth of an artistic touch, SCHWARZBLUT cover such a wide musical range that they have been compared to bands as diverse as QNTAL, VNV NATION and even SKINNY PUPPY! SCHWARZBLUT surprise the listener by mixing pounding electro rhythms, harmonic choirs, distorted vocals, cutting leads, grandiloquent orchestras, dark romanticism and German lyrical poetry from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich von Schiller and Karoline von Günderrode.
From the pillars of pounding EBM/industrial of tracks like "Das Mandat" and "Sterbelied", to the lush orchestral bombastic arrangements of songs like "Nähe des Geliebten" and "Bei der Nacht", through more experimental ambient elector pieces, SCHWARZBLUT shine on all levels. "Das Mausoleum" is a chef d’oeuvre that comes strongly recommended for fans of German-speaking dark artists from GOETHES ERBEN to DAS ICH to BLUTENGEL, PLASTIC NOISE EXPERIENCE and HEIMATAERDE.
