Today’s video of the day is Blutengel – "Dark History" released in 2023.
Blutengel return with “Dark History,” a visual statement steeped in gothic emotion and shadowed beauty. The song comes from Chris Pohl’s long-running darkwave project. Since the late 1990s, Blutengel have shaped the European gothic scene. They blend darkwave, synthpop, and electronic melancholy. Over the years, the band built a loyal global following. As a result, their sound became instantly recognizable. “Dark History” continues that path. It reflects themes of memory, loss, and inner conflict. Moreover, the video amplifies these ideas through dramatic imagery and mood-driven storytelling.
“Dark History” appears on the anniversary album Un:Sterblich – Our Souls Will Never Die. The single arrived in December 2022 as a teaser. It prepared fans for a milestone release in 2023. Therefore, the track carries extra weight. Musically, it balances modern production with classic Blutengel atmospheres. Cold synth lines meet emotional vocals. Meanwhile, the visuals underline the song’s reflective tone. The video feels cinematic and intimate. It mirrors the band’s focus on personal darkness rather than shock value.
Within Blutengel’s wider catalog, “Dark History” feels both familiar and renewed. Earlier albums often explored romance, pain, and gothic fantasy. This track looks back instead. It reflects on the past while moving forward. Consequently, it fits perfectly on an anniversary release. The song does not reinvent Blutengel. Instead, it refines their identity. Fans of albums like Monument and Black Symphonies will recognize the mood. Still, the band sounds confident and current. “Dark History” confirms Blutengel’s place in modern darkwave history.
