In 1995, Christoph "Christ" von Freydorf (vocals) and Stefan "Fini" Finauer (drums), pupils of a convent school, founded the band together with Christoph's church choir friend Jamie "Citnoh" Richardson (bass guitar). They were joined by Stephan Karl "Moik" and Franz Wickenhäuser (both guitar). The band was founded in Hohenschäftlarn near Munich. The name Emil Bulls is derived from a children's movie.
In 1996, they recorded their first CD Red Dick’s Potatoe Garden themselves. The CD is in great demand today because of its small circulation. In 1997, they attended the Emergenza festival and finished third in the European competition. For this competition they hired DJ Paul Rzyttka (known as DJ Zamzoe) who afterwards became a permanent member of the band.
After a long tour, their album Monogamy was released by the indie record label Oh My Sweet Records. The record could only be purchased through the internet or during live shows. Monogamy was noticed by Island Records, which offered the band a recording deal. Some of the songs on Monogamy and a few new songs were recorded. The result was Angel Delivery Service, released in 2001. The album was already out of stock a few months later. A new edition was released including a cover version of A-Ha's "Take on Me". The songs "Smells Like Rock'n'Roll", "Leaving You with This" and "Take on Me" were released as singles.
In May 2002, Porcelain was released through Motor Music. "The Coolness of Being Wretched" and "This Day" were released as singles. Between June 2001 and August 2002, the band played 129 live shows including Rock am Ring. In August 2003, drummer Stefan Finauer left the band to go to university. He was replaced by Fabian Fab Füß. In 2003, the band played some shows in Canada and the United States.
On June 20, 2005, The Southern Comfort was released on Pirate Records. It was the last record with DJ Zamzoe.
In February 2007, the live and acoustic album The Life Acoustic was released. The album, which was recorded in Pullach in 2006, was followed by an acoustic tour.
The following album The Black Path was released on April 4, 2008, on Drakkar records. It is the hardest record of the band so far and was recorded in Hannover by Benny Richer (Caliban, Krypteria). The single "The Most Evil Spell" was offered as a free download.
In 2009, Chrissy Schneider left the band and was replaced by Andy Bock, who was the guitar player of From Constant Visions. On September 25, 2009, Phoenix was released. "Here Comes The Fire" was offered as a free download on their website. In September 2009, a music video of "When God Was Sleeping" was released.
The band's latest studio offering, Oceanic, was to be released on September 30, 2011.
Sacrifice to Venus
Emil Bulls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna break your heart
Tear it apart like a bloodthirsty shark
The never ending struggle against
Unwillingness and stupidity
Has taken all my wartime dignity
I am not a poet, I'm a drunk with a pen
Are on fire with hate
Thank god drunkenness can be sobered
But stupid lasts forever
Now I will show you the meaning of forever
The friend in me awoke from sleep
I pray the beast my soul to keep
My heart is a tomb
What's dead may never die
This is the time to erase and rewind
You can never fuck,
Never suck my pride out of my penis
I leave you dying away
My sacrifice to Venus
You can never fuck,
Never suck my pride out of my penis
I leave you dying away
My sacrifice to Venus
Dying away my sacrifice to Venus
Don't you cry, don't you cry me a river
Don't you think I deserve something bigger
Fucking bleed, fucking bleed me an ocean
Of love, lust and devotion
Don't you cry, don't you cry me a river
Don't you think I deserve something bigger
Fucking bleed, fucking bleed me an ocean
Of love, lust and devotion
I'm gonna settle this once and for all
Before I fall apart
And collapse like a house of cards
My future life will never know
You existed at all
I'll wipe you out
Like an cannon ball
I'm not a saint, I am beyond the sinner
Tragedy is the only winner
There's no peace without war
There's no love without drama
In the end we all suck the cock of karma
The friend in me awoke from sleep
I pray the beast my soul to keep
My heart is a tomb
What's dead may never die
This is the time to erase and rewind
You can never fuck,
Never suck my pride out of my penis
I leave you dying away
My sacrifice to Venus
You can never fuck,
Never suck my pride out of my penis
I leave you dying away
My sacrifice to Venus
Dying away my sacrifice to Venus
Don't you cry, don't you cry me a river
Don't you think I deserve something bigger
Fucking bleed, fucking bleed me an ocean
Of love, lust and devotion
Don't you cry, don't you cry me a river
Don't you think I deserve something bigger
Fucking bleed, fucking bleed me an ocean
Of love, lust and devotion
Fucking bleed, fucking bleed
Fucking bleed, fucking bleed
An Ocean
I'll rip your heart out and feed it to the fire
I'll watch you burn
Watch it burn
Don't you cry, don't you cry me a river
Don't you think I deserve something bigger
Fucking bleed, fucking bleed me an ocean
Of love, lust and devotion
Don't you cry, don't you cry me a river
Don't you think I deserve something bigger
Fucking bleed, fucking bleed me an ocean
Of love, lust and devotion
Don't you cry, don't you cry me a river
Don't you think I deserve something bigger
Fucking bleed, fucking bleed me an ocean
Of love, lust and devotion
Don't you cry, don't you cry me a river
Don't you think I deserve something bigger
Fucking bleed, fucking bleed me an ocean
Of love, lust and devotion
Fucking bleed
An ocean
The lyrics of Emil Bulls’s song Sacrifice to Venus are a bitter reflection on love, heartbreak, and the pain that comes with it. From the very start, the singer declares that he is going to break the heart of his lover and tear it apart like a bloodthirsty shark. He is angry at the unwillingness and stupidity of his partner, and this has led to a loss of dignity and self-respect. The singer acknowledges that he is not a poet but a drunk with a pen, and the words he puts on paper are on fire with hate. His drunkenness may be temporary, but the stupidity of his partner will last forever. The singer sees this as an opportunity to show his partner the meaning of forever, and he is willing to make a sacrifice for the goddess of love and beauty, Venus. He is leaving his partner dying away as a sacrifice to Venus.

He is determined to settle this once and for all before he falls apart and collapses like a house of cards. His future life will never know that his lover existed, and he is willing to wipe her out like a cannonball. The singer acknowledges that there is no peace without war, and no love without drama. In the end, everyone sucks the cock of karma, and the pain of heartbreak is simply part of life. The singer is willing to make a sacrifice to the goddess of love and beauty, Venus, to forget the pain of heartbreak and move on.
