April 1992 the single "Kiss & Tell" was the first release on Rebel Records / SPV and thus the start of a long-term and successful collaboration. 1992 saw a flood of releases, much to the delight of the fans. Further again the band changed their guitarist position. Mark Wheeler from now on has been in charge for about 2 years. In September came the album "An Irony of Fate", in October the re-releases of "Sinister Dawn/Ecstasy" and "Flags of Revolution" and finally in November the single "Demimondes" followed, which all together displayed an abundance of innovation.
On "Stormy Visions", the pre-release single for the album "Odyssee", released in October 1993, goes one step further in a very dancefloor-orientated direction, prooved by a truly techno-id mix of the title track. The album release in January 1994 again was followed with a crash of the line-up. Mark Wheeler has been dropped and replaced by the guitarist Colin Hughes. Some remixes and the incredible David Bowie cover "Heroes" been released shortly after the album on the Single "Flood of Love", more in the typical Love Like Blood realms.
A year later "Exposure" saw the daylight in October 1995 and broke the silence. Mixed at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool (UK) and produced by Pee Wee Coleman. One of the most influential German band now sounds really fresh, yet keeps the roots but showing itself more from the Metal side.
In January 1996 the band rushed into their most serious crisis ever. The band cancelled their 6 weeks Europe tour and felt into deep depressions. Many rumours spread around about a band split, their retirement.
No official statements, no news for about 1 1/2 years until the Demo Single "Taste of Damocles" been released as an offical announcement. The band from now on consists just by the brotherhood and founding members Yorck and Gunnar Eysel. Former guitarist Colin Hughes as well as dummer Joxx Schmid retired. But the main heads of the band continue what they have started about ten years ago.
So it's no wonder that in February 1998 in time of their 10 years anniversary with a big bang the advance Mini-Album "The Love Like Blood E.P." was released. A new chapter is opened, a fresh, highly motivated band returns and again is setting new standards.
Their anniversary E.P. as well as the follow-up album "Snakekiller" have been recorded with numerous highly reputated musicians as there are AC (drums, Lacrimosa), Esa Holopainen (guitars, Amorphis), Ed Warby (drums, Gorefest), Frank Schwer (guitars, Silke Bischoff), Frank Weyzig (Born For Bliss), Susan D'Ivallo (vocals, Moonchild) and finally Peter Tägtgren (producer, Dimmu Borgir, Hypocrisy, Edge Of Sanity)
Out of Sight
Love Like Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another kiss seals another hand
Another hand is setting free
Hidden tears I cannot see
While the moon is grinning a time
Lifting up my agony
Suffice it to say
I'll damn the whole day
Heaven knows where heaven is
Heaven knows just what I miss
Keep the silence in embrace
I can't forget this happy face
Where are the
Frames of the happy days
Out of sight
The soughts of lust of love
Out of mind
The strength and the self respect
I could find
A head and a heart and a soul
It's really out of sight
Who's walking in this park
Who's singing in this dark
What am I supposed to do
Why am I searching for you
Moonlight please beware
The reality of despair
Open your mind set it free
Immortal agony
The song "Out of Sight" by Love Like Blood captures themes of love, loss, and despair. The lyrics open with the end of another day, with the persona bidding farewell to someone they hold dear. The kiss and the release of hands suggest a form of freedom, but the persona is left with hidden tears that they cannot reveal. The moon is personified, "grinning a time" as a way of mocking the persona's agony. Despite trying to forget the experience and damning the whole day, they are left with memories of happier times. Heaven knows where it is, and what the persona misses, but they are left with silence and the memory of a happy face. While they seek to find the strength, self-respect, head, heart, and soul, it's all out of sight.
The second stanza deepens the sense of confusion and helplessness. The persona is left to wonder who is walking in the park and singing in the dark. They question what they should do and why they are searching for someone. The moonlight is asked to beware of the harsh reality of despair, as the persona pleads for an escape from their immortal agony.
In summary, "Out of Sight" captures a sense of loss, pain, and confusion. The persona is left with memories of happier times and the pain of not being able to move on. Despite trying to forget, they are left searching for someone who is no longer there, and must cope with their internal turmoil.

Poznałem i polubiłem Love Like Blood dzięki Tomkowi Beksińskiemu.

W moim przypadku było identycznie, audycje TB, zwłaszcza te z przełomu lat 80-tych i 90-tych, mocno kształtowały mój gust muzyczny :-)
