About
Blut und Eisen was a German experimental and industrial music project active during the mid-1980s. The group emerged from the underground noise and industrial music scene, releasing material primarily through independent and cassette-based labels. Their discography includes the albums "Schrei doch" (1984) and "...Schön Geseh'n" (1985), alongside live recordings documented on cassettes through labels such as Vollsuff Tapes and Dioxin Tapes. These live recordings, including performances at venues like Krokodil Böblingen and Bremen Schlachthof, capture the group's raw, confrontational approach to sound. The project's work reflects the aesthetic concerns of the broader European industrial and noise underground of the 1980s, characterized by harsh textures, experimental production techniques, and an DIY ethos. While details regarding specific personnel and long-term influence remain limited, Blut und Eisen's prolific cassette releases and live performances positioned them within the vibrant German underground music network of that era.
