The BLUTGOTT METAL UNIVERSE - independent & authentic
DEBAUCHERY – Death Metal
BLOOD GOD – Hard Rock & Heavy Metal
BALGEROTH – Dark Fantasy Metal with German Lyrics


It’s not just a band—it’s a universe. The BLUTGOTT Metal Universe, consisting of Debauchery, Blood God, and Balgeroth.
In the metal world, this is a unique concept, featuring interconnected bands spanning different metal genres and albums. In the comic book scene, however, it’s quite common. Both DC and Marvel have many superheroes who sometimes go into battle alone, sometimes together. Spider-Man, Iron Man, Black Widow—you know them from comics and movies, either alone or together as the Avengers.

Each of the Metal Blood Gods fights on their own—as Debauchery, Blood God, and Balgeroth—but together they are the Avengers of the metal scene: BLUTGOTT.

20 years of monsters and metal. Somewhere between Judas Priest, Slayer, AC/DC, Rammstein, and Bolt Thrower. 20 albums with over 40 CDs.
The lyrics depict a unique, dark fantasy world—the World of Blood Gods. Blood Gods are brutal, demonic vampire-dragons.
There are miniatures, a tabletop wargame, books, and artwork.
Concerts by the various incarnations of the BLUTGOTT Metal Universe have taken place throughout Europe, Russia, and Asia.

The draconic BLUTGOTT monsters have toured with legends such as Doro, Saxon, Dismember, Napalm Death, Destruction, Six Feet Under, Marduk and many other giants of the metal scene, and have played at festivals like Wacken, With Full Force, Summer Breeze, and Bang Your Head.

There have been articles in “Der Spiegel“ and “BILD“. I’ve also regularly collaborated with mainstream media, such as ZDF Neo’s -Wildes Deutschland - and ZDF’s Soko Stuttgart.

I’m the mastermind behind BLUTGOTT—Thomas Gurrath, singer and guitarist, creator of the music and the monsters, and author of the World of Blood Gods.
There is no manager, no booker, no external songwriters. The albums are now released on my own Blutgott Metal Universe label.


I’m the guy who quit his job as a teacher to become a full-time metal artist.
The artworks and stories are mostly mine, but sometimes I’ve also collaborated with renowned artists such as Adrian Smith (Warhammer), Jan Meininghaus (Bolt Thrower), Kris Verwimp (Marduk), or Graham McNeill (New York Times best-selling Horus Heresy author).

A few songs were created in collaboration with great musicians:
Tim Ripper Owens (Judas Priest, KK’s Priest), Michelle Darkness (End of Green), Tom Naumann (Primal Fear).




I record almost all of my studio albums with the mighty Dennis Ward. He is known for his work with Helloween, Unisonic, and Krokus.



"If GWAR and Lordi F***ed and had a baby. And Mushroom Head and Rammstein F***ed and had a baby. Then somehow they're two babies met and F***ed. This would be the result." Michael on Facebook.
