Der Blutharsch is the music project driven by Viennese musician Albin Julius, started in 1997. Reviews describe a martial‑industrial/post‑industrial sound built from orchestral samples, electronics and martial rhythms; the project later moved toward neo‑folk and psychedelic/rock influences. The project and its imagery drew significant controversy.

Led by Albin Julius (died May 4, 2022). Frequently cited collaborations with Death In June. Known for provocative use of 1930s–1940s samples and martial imagery; later releases showed stylistic shifts toward neo‑folk and psychedelic rock. Several albums available on Bandcamp according to reviews.

Der Blutharsch (Albin Julius) is repeatedly praised in these reviews for powerful martial‑industrial/post‑industrial sound and strong orchestration. Reviewers also highlight persistent controversy over ideological imagery and WWII references. The project's evolution toward neo‑folk and later psychedelic/rock phases is documented across albums. Collaborations with acts like Death In June are noted.

For:Fans of martial‑industrial, post‑industrial and neo‑folk; listeners interested in controversial/provocative art and historically‑inflected soundscapes.

 Julius works by subtraction, he takes the worst of Death in June, Blood Axis, NoN, removes the folk, post-punk, the noise from the warlike suggestions of Pearce, Moynihan, Rice: what remains is a desert of ruins, a landscape of collapsed buildings, a ghost army marching in the dust towards its death.

 Albin Julius has never hidden his ideological beliefs and love for a certain historical revisionism, and this has prejudiced from the start any possibility of neutrality towards him, decreeing on one hand his success, while on the other swelling the ranks of his detractors, for reasons that have little to do with music.

 Albin Julius is undoubtedly a character without compromises.
