Der Blutharsch / Taciturne – The Moment Of Truth / Der Brotkasten Label: WKN – WKN 22 Format: CD, Compilation, Remastered + CD, Mini, Reissue Country: Austria Released: Oct 2004 Style: Industrial, Experimental, Chiptune
Der Blutharsch was the main project of Austrian musician Albin Julius (1967-2022). Following in the footsteps of Autopsia and Laibach, Julius created marching music of bombastic rhythms and folkish melodies, often infused with historical military speeches and orchestral samples. The earlier works tended towards a minimalistic sample-based instrumental style in an industrial/ambient vein, while more recent material has headed into a folk/acoustic sound, often accompanied with live vocals and instruments.
