The German group Blutengel (Blood Angel) were founded by singer Chris Pohl, after contractual and legal problems forced him to exit the popular German band Seelenkrank. An electronica pop group with goth overtones, the band has gone through a few member changes while sticking to a configuration of one male and two female singers. They sing in German and in English, with lyrics exploring love, passion, and romance in highly dramatic tones. The original two female singers were photographer and singer Nina Bendigkeit (another Seelenkrank alumni) and Katie Roloff. Bendigkeit left after the debut album, Child of Glass, was released to modest club success in 1999, to devote time to her growing success as a photographer.
