BLUTGOTT METAL UNIVERSE

DEBAUCHERY, BLOOD GOD, BALGEROTH

THE BLUTGOTT METAL UNIVERSE

DEBAUCHERY – Monster Metal

BLOOD GOD – Hard Rock & Heavy Metal

BALGEROTH – German Metal

In 20 Jahren hat Sänger und Gitarrist Thomas Gurrath ein ganzes Banduniversum mit über 30CDs verteilt auf mehr als 17 Alben aus Debauchery, Blood God und Balgeroth geschaffen. Vereint hat er diese Trinity of Blood Gods unter dem Namen BLUTGOTT.

Musikalisch genreübergreifend bewegt man sich irgendwo zwischen Judas Priest, Slayer, AC/DC, Rammstein und Bolt Thrower. Es gibt stampfenden Death Metal, klassischen Heavy Metal und groovigen Hard Rock, mal mit kreischenden Vocals, mal mit der markanten Monsterstimme, mal clean, und allem dazwischen.

Die Texte – auf Deutsch und Englisch - handeln von dem eigenen Dark Fantasy Universum: der World of Blood Gods. Benannt nach den Blutgöttern - biomechanischen Vampirdrachen mit dämonischen Fähigkeiten.

Die drei berüchtigsten sind Bal-Geroth, der Bloodking von Knochenheim, Dracul Drakorgoth, der Debauchery Blood God und Setekh Drakorgaur, der Rote Drache. Zusammen bilden sie die Trinity of Blood Gods.

In den Kriegszonen der Vergangenheit und der Zukunft, auf der Erde, auf Eden, anderen Planeten und der Hölle schlagen sie brutale Schlachten gegen Elben, Menschen und Zwerge, aber auch gegen andere Dämonen. Zur World of Blood Gods gibt es eigene Miniaturen und ein eigenes Tabletop-Spiel, genannt Kings of Carnage.

Konzerte der verschieden Inkarnationen des BLUTGOTT Metal Universums gab es in ganz Europa, in Russland und Asien. Man war mit Doro, Saxon, Dismember, Napalm Death, Destruction und vielen anderen namhaften Bands der Metalszene auf Tour, spielte auf den großen Festivals wie Wacken, Summer Breeze und dem Bang Your Head. Die Alben sind regelmäßig in den Top 50 der offiziellen deutschen Albumcharts.

Musically, the band moves across genres somewhere between Judas Priest, Slayer, AC/DC, Rammstein and Bolt Thrower. There is pounding death metal, classic heavy metal and groovy hard rock, sometimes with screeching vocals, sometimes with the distinctive monster voice, sometimes clean, and everything in between.
The lyrics - in German and English - deal with the band's own dark fantasy universe: the World of Blood Gods. Named after the Blood Gods - biomechanical vampire dragons with demonic abilities.
The three most infamous are Bal-Geroth, the Bloodking of Knochenheim, Dracul Drakorgoth, the Debauchery Blood God and Setekh Drakorgaur, the Red Dragon. Together they form the Trinity of Blood Gods.
In the war zones of the past and future, on Earth, Eden, other planets and Hell, they fight brutal battles against elves, humans and dwarves, as well as other demons. The World of Blood Gods has its own miniatures and its own tabletop game, called Kings of Carnage.
Concerts of the various incarnations of the BLUTGOTT Metal Universe have been held throughout Europe, Russia and Asia. They have performed with Doro, Saxon, Dismember, Napalm Death, Destruction and many other well-known bands 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 TRINITY OF BLOOD GODS

DEBAUCHERY, BLOOD GOD, AND BALGEROTH

The three Blood God overlords of the Debauchery Universe are mighty dragons with demonic powers. They are Dracul Drakorgoth, Setekh Drakorgaur, and Balgeroth. Together, they are the Trinity of Blood Gods.

DEBAUCHERY

Dracul Drakorgoth was the first dragon forged in the holy fires of God to protect Eden, and he was also the first to fall to the lies of Hell’s demons. Dracul was subjugated by succubi and possessed by demons, but after millennia of pain and war he freed his draconic heart from the chains of imprisonment and sent it through a hellgate to earth. There, he was born again, ripping from the pale belly of a virgin to take his revenge. Dracul Drakorgoth is now a huge centauroid beast, his former demon-possessed body fused with the so called Debaucherynatrix Warmachine.

He is a primordial force of destruction, clad in biomechanical armour and driven by the power of his draconic heart. Dracul can still detach from his lower body, allowing the Debauchery Warmachine to fight on its own, driven only by the instinct to kill and inflict pain. Drakorgoth’s power grows stronger when he devours demons and wizards, but pays a heavy price of madness with each feast. Yet even amid the slaughter, there are times Drakorgoth finds peace, and slivers of the honourable warrior he once was can be glimpsed. But such moments are fleeting, and his self-loathing for what he has become and the memories of terrible deeds he has committed fills him with brutal, all-consuming rage.

At his side stands the Debauchery Legion; a host of madness incarnate, comprising ancient and mighty chaos dragons once possessed by succubi but who have cast off the yoke of their enslavement, Drakespawn offspring sired in acts of barbaric cruelty, draconic killerbeasts, hordes of human and elven slave warriors, enslaved vampire succubi, and Blood Babes.

BLOOD GOD

Setekh Drakorgaur is the mightiest warmaster of the Legions of Balgeroth, known as the Red Dragon, the Blood God of Earth. He commands the Killerbeast Legion of Murderbrute Minotaurs from his throne upon the Black Ark, the mightiest Hellship of the Drakornaut Fleet. He is also the patron of livestock and beasts of all kind, fighting for animal liberation. His horde is animalistic, blood-crazed and only out for violence. Their war-cry is HATE! KILL! MURDER!

BALGEROTH

Balgeroth is the Bloodking of the Immortales Cruores and the ruler of Knochenheim, sometimes called the City of Bones. There, at its highest peak, stands his fortress: the Skull Mountain. He is the archenemy of the demonic legions and hates the Hellgod, Skrathnikar Luziferon, and his lying witches above all. He also despises humanity, elves and dwarfs, enslaving millions of them in his infernal legions. The armies of Balgeroth comprise many different Drakor Legions, militaristic hordes of mortal warriors, and Legions solely formed of bloodcrazed draconic killers. But the very worst of his legions are wrought in his laboratories of madness, horrors of draconic stock given shape from biomechanical parts, hellforged steel and demonic flesh. The stitched and chimeric Balgerothi Blood Gods wrought here are armed with deadly plasma and flame cannons to better slaughter their foes in the name of Balgeroth.
