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.
