Blutengel was formed after German singer Chris Pohl (Terminal Choice) left his former band “Seelenkrank”. Later, the music project 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 more animal aspects of desire.
The female vocals were originally performed by Kati Roloff and Nina Bendigkeit when Blutengel’s 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. In 2000 or so Nina(at that time the main female vocal) had become successful with her photographer career, so she left the band and then Kati became the main female voice and for the 2nd female vocalist, Gini Martin was found. “Children of the Night”, “Der Spiegel”, “Soul of Ice”’ 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 in which Constance also appeared as a guest besides Kati and Gini on the stage. Further, this was the last time the band would play with its original line-up.

Hmm just heard the new track. Decent song, but it really sounds like a B-Side to Labyrinth (the vocal lines are VERY similar to Born Again).

Not anymore. He started Seelenkrank in the early days of Terminal Choice as a side project. Seelenkrank later turned into todays Blutengel. The project became such a big "hit" that it sorta turned into his 2nd main band. I´d say it´s equal, though Blutengel is so much more popular and successful. You can describe Miss Construction as a "real" side project. The man is just a hopeless workaholic. =)

Is it true that Terminal Choice is Chris's main project, and Blutengel is just a side project? Blutengel is so much better it's not funny. And they have like 3x as many plays as Terminal Choice.

Ich stimme meiner Vorrednerin zu, aber die Musik ist einfach perfekt zum Programmieren: Monotonerhintergrundklang der nicht im entferntesten zum über ihn nachdenken anregt. Da kan ich mich voll auf das Debuggen konzentrieren =).
