Blutengel is a German synth band formed by singer Chris Pohl (Terminal Choice) after he had to leave his former project Seelenkrank due to contractual problems. Latter, Seelenkrank returned with a new label and also a new name: Blutengel. The lyrics are primarily in German and/or English and mixed between male and female vocals paired with electronic sounds and with songs often focusing on all aspects of love, from the tragedy of hopeless romance all the way to the naughtier aspects of desire.

The female vocals were originally performed by Katie Roloff (a.k.a Kati) and Nina Bendigkeit when Blutengels debut album Child of Glass was released in 1999. Although the first album was successful, not much was heard from the band for a while for the next two years while they worked on their next album Seelenschmerz.

In the meantime, the line-up had changed as Nina Bendigkeit had become successful with her solo career as a photographer and so Gini Martin replaced her. Children of the Night and Soul of Ice (written by Gini and sung by Kati), as well as Der Spiegel among many others made Seelenschmerz so successful that it just missed appearing in the German Top 100.

At the end of 2001, the single Black Roses appeared with Constance Rudert as a session singer and the band performed at the Dark Storm Festival which Constance also appeared as guest besides Kati and Gini. Further, this was the last time the band would play with its original line-up. Katie Roloff and Gini Martin left the band by personal reasons and founded their own project, Tristesse de la Lune, and were replaced by Constance Rudert and Eva Plzig who was found soon afterwards.

The bands next and 3rd album, Angel Dust, placed 58th on the Top 100 in its first week because of hits like Angel of the Night and Vampire Romance making Blutengel become more popular. An interesting fact is that the Angel Dust promotional photoshoot was made by Nina Bendigkeit.

In 2004 their 4 album, Demon Kiss was released, followed by the DVD Live Lines which appeared latter in 2005, but bad news came out: As of early october Eva Plzig decided to leave Blutengel, to seek her studies and other projects in her personal life. So, Eva has been replaced by Ulrike Goldmann (ex-Say-Y) and the EPs The Oxidising Angel and My Saviour were released.
