Blutengel (stylized BlutEngel; German for "Blood Angel") is a German electronic music group formed by singer Chris Pohl (also of the groups Terminal Choice, Tumor and Miss Construction and the owner of the Fear Section label) after leaving Seelenkrank.

[1] Blutengel was formed in 1998 after Chris Pohl had decided to give up the preceding project, Seelenkrank (which had released two albums), due to contractual problems.

The group's first album, Child of Glass, was released in early 1999 with Kati Roloff and Nina Bendigkeit as the original female vocalists.

The band performed at the Dark Storm Festival where Rudert appeared on stage with Roloff and Martin.

Roloff and Martin left the band days later for personal reasons and founded their own project together, Tristesse de la Lune.

A DVD release, Live Lines, and the album-length EP, The Oxidising Angel, appeared in 2005, the latter of which contained new material as well as a cover of "Cry Little Sister" from The Lost Boys soundtrack.

An extended edition of this album contained three full CDs, each with its own subtitle (Schwarzes Eis, the instrumental Behind the Mirror, and Redemption).

In 2010, the band performed at the Amphi Festival featuring Anja Milow, Maria Rehfeld and Jenny Haufe who had been hired in 2009 as a dancers for the Schwarzes Eis tour.

Days later, it was announced on the official website that Constance Rudert had been replaced by two new singers, Anja Milow and Steffi Weingarten.

[4] Two singles, "Über den Horizont" and "Reich mir die Hand", were released to promote the album, with accompanying music videos, the latter featuring Pohl's new girlfriend Viki Scarlet as the "Bloody Girl" in "Reich mir die Hand", who would later become a permanent dancer.

The new EP was released 23 October 2015 and featured a reworking of "Weg zu mir", originally from Child of Glass, which served as a preview for the upcoming best-of album.

"Complete", the first single from the upcoming tenth album, Leitbild, was released on 2 December 2016; it featured two B-sides and a remix by British darkwave act Massive Ego.

Blutengel went on tour starting in April and ended in May to promote the album, with Massive Ego as their support.

Live im Wasserschloss Klaffenbach was released April 2018, with footage from their Nemesis – Open Air Festival from July 2016.
