On October 10th internationally, Blutgott will self-release the new studio album Legions of Metal, with distribution through Flying Dolphin.
THE BLUTGOTT METAL UNIVERSE – Dark Fantasy Metal. There is no political or socio-critical message.
DEBAUCHERY – death metal voice
BLOOD GOD – hard rock & heavy metal vocals
BALGEROTH – German lyrics
It’s not a band; it’s a universe. The Blutgott Metal Universe, consisting of Debauchery, Blood God, and Balgeroth.
20 Years of monsters and metal. Somewhere in between Judas Priest, Slayer, AC/DC, Rammstein, and Bolt Thrower. 20 albums with over 40 CDs.
The lyrics are about their own dark fantasy world, the World of Blood Gods. Blood Gods are brutal demonic vampire dragons.
There are miniatures, a tabletop wargame, books, and artworks.
Concerts of the various incarnations of the Blutgott Metal Universe have been held throughout Europe, Russia, and Asia. The draconic Blutgott monsters were on tour with Doro, Saxon, Dismember, Napalm Death, Destruction, and many other legends from the metal scene and played at major festivals such as Wacken, Summer Breeze, and Bang Your Head. The albums are regularly in the top 50 of the official German album charts.
The mainman behind Blutgott is Thomas Gurrath: singer and guitarist, creator of artworks and monsters, author of the World of Blood Gods. The guy who gave up his job as teacher to become a fulltime metal artist.
Legions of Metal is coming on October 10th: three bloody discs of old-school heavy metal and hard rock. Recorded by Dennis Ward (Unisonic, Krokus, Helloween).
CD1: A full mix of Blutgott madness, plus some absolute legends joining the ride: Tim “Ripper” Owens – former singer of Judas Priest, and Michelle Darkness – the voice of End of Green.
CD2: classic heavy metal and hard rock, like AC/DC getting into a bar brawl with Accept – and everyone wins.
CD3: The version with the Debauchery monster voice. Death metal growls that sound like a demon gargling lava.
Available as a 3CD digipack and the main album as a limited-edition picture LP. Cover and 3CD tracklisting are as follows:
