Come, forse, avrete intuito dall’assenza di notizie in merito a nuovi live e/o nuove uscite discografiche, la band è in fase di stallo.
Le motivazioni sono sia dovute a problematiche interne per questioni lavorative e di salute di alcuni membri della band che esterne, quali attacchi personali ad alcuni membri della band catalogabili non solo come vile atto non conforme alla “famiglia metal” ma anche deprecabili dal lato umano.
Per questi motivi sospendiamo ogni attività live almeno fino a quando non ci saranno situazioni e contesti più stabili e propizi per noi.
Attualmente quello che vediamo per la musica è un futuro particolarmente buio. Stiamo attraversando, come scena metal, una forte manipolazione e contaminazione nel senso peggiore dei termini. Vi è un palese un impoverimento economico e culturale, con tanto di gara a chi si svende di più, oltre che ad un sovraccarico di uscite apparentemente dovute a mere richieste di mercato
Si è di fronte a delle pratiche, più che in passato, di tipo clientelistico e di mercimonio corporale per poter essere presi in considerazione e poi non necessariamente supportati o realmente selezionati.
Tutto ciò rende veramente impossibile da sopportare per chi si trova nel mezzo (tra la presenza nell’underground decennale e il tentativo di evolvere verso lidi più grandi) e chi ha più di 30 anni di militanza nella scena metal: notiamo che la cosa sta cominciando a non essere solo un nostro sentire viste similari rimostranze espresse a mezza voce da altre band durante i pochissimi live visti e fatti negli ultimi due anni.
Evidentemente non è il momento giusto per noi che crediamo in una certa onestà e una certa coerenza artistica e sicuramente non è il contesto corretto e su cui si fonderebbe, lecito usare il condizionale ad oggi visto quello che si è profilato negli ultimi anni, il rock ed il metal.
A fronte di tutto questo il progetto Blut torna ad essere un progetto da studio, come 10 anni fa con la sua nascita, con collaborazioni estere ed esterne al metal: di conseguenza svincoliamo tutti i membri dell’attuale formazione da qualsiasi vincolo con Blut.
Ringraziamo tutti i membri dell’ultima lineup che non riescono, o non possono, rimanere nel progetto con queste condizioni e gli auguriamo il meglio; in particolar modo Chiara Manese e Antonino Sidoti (ed al suo alter ego Pantegani Oreste ).
Ringraziamo inoltre l’attuale label Sleaszy Rider SRL che ci supporta ancora e Rene Hades Farrugia Hades Management per aver provato con noi a combattere una pessima situazione nella gestione dei live negli ultimi 4 anni. Un abbraccio anche a Michele Ercolano per averci preso in considerazione più volte.
A breve vi ragguaglieremo sulle collaborazioni che stiamo intessendo per i prossimi lavori da studio.
Mit Freundliches Gruße

[ENG]:
As you may have guessed from the lack of news regarding new live shows and/or new record releases, the band is at a standstill.
The reasons are both due to internal problems with work and health issues of some members of the band and external ones, such as personal attacks on some members of the band which can be classified not only as a vile act not compliant with the “metal family” but also deplorable from a human point of view.
For these reasons, we are suspending all live activities at least until there are more stable and favorable situations and contexts for us.
Currently what we see for music is a particularly dark future. We are going through, as a metal scene, a strong manipulation and contamination in the worst sense of these two terms. There is a clear economic and cultural impoverishment, complete with competitions to see who can sell off the most, as well as an overload of exits apparently due to mere market demands.
We are faced with practices, more than in the past, of a clientelistic and corporal commercial type to be taken into consideration and then not necessarily supported or actually selected…
All this makes it truly impossible to bear for those who find themselves in the middle (between the ten-year presence in the underground and the attempt to evolve towards bigger shores) and those who have more than 30 years of militancy in the metal scene: we notice that this is starting to it’s not just us hearing similar complaints expressed in a low voice by other bands during the very few live shows seen and performed in the last two years.
Evidently, it is not the right time for us who believe in a certain honesty and a certain artistic coherence and it is certainly not the correct context on which it would be based, it is legitimate to use the conditional today given what has emerged in recent years, rock and metal.
In the face of all this, the Blut project returns to being a studio project, like 10 years ago with its birth, with collaborations abroad and outside of metal. Consequently, we release all members of the current lineup from any ties with Blut.
We thank all the members of the latest lineup who cannot, or cannot, remain in the project under these conditions and wish them the best; in particular Chiara Manese and Antonino Sidoti (and his alter ego Oreste).
We also thank the current label Sleaszy Rider who still supports us and Hades Management for trying with us to fight a terrible situation in live management over the last 4 years. A hug to Michele Ercolano for taking us into consideration several times.
We’ll let you know soon about our collaborations for the next studio albums.

Dal nuovo album “Traum” uscito su Sleaszy Rider Records viene tratto il nuovo video: SEELE
Per celebrare l’inizio del nuovo anno viene svelato il video del nuovo singolo “SEELE”: https://youtu.be/g6AVpBPAEUo
Queste le parole di Alessandro Schümperlin sul singolo:
“Per questo nuovo video abbiamo fatto in modo di trasmettere il meccanismo difficile tra il femmineo all’interno dell’uomo e quello che certi meccanismi e certe dinamiche prevedono e auspicano. Per fare ciò ci siamo avvalsi nuovamente Di Stefano Longo(Stesografo) che ha capito e trasmesso in immagini le nostre sceneggiature aggiungendovi il suo tocco personale”.

These are Alessandro Schümperlin’s words on the single:
“For this new video we managed to convey the difficult mechanism between the feminine within man and what certain mechanisms and certain dynamics predict and hope for. To do this we once again made use of Stefano Longo (Stesographer) who understood and conveyed our scripts in images, adding his personal touch.”
