Music like Love Like Blood

Love Like Blood was a German gothic rock band. The band's name comes from the song of the same name by English post-punk band Killing Joke.

Its nucleus consists of the Eysel brothers Yorck (vocals, lyrics) and Gunnar (bass). The band was active from 1989 to 2001 and is now on (indefinite) hiatus.

Its early sound reminisces the style of Fields of the Nephilim. They made their breakthrough with the 1992 album An Irony of Fate, which marked the debut of English guitarist Mark Wheeler. This album showcased a transition to a more hard rock-influenced style.

In the mid-1990s, Love Like Blood turned to gothic metal with the album Exposure.

On their 2000 album, Enslaved + Condemned, Love Like Blood made a rendition of Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry's song "Seven Seconds", giving the pop song a more ragged, metal-oriented sound.
