Der Blutharsch and the Infinite Church of the Leading Hand came into existence in 2011. Prior to that, mastermind Albin Julius had worked under the name Der Blutharsch, which in itself was his follow-up project to The Moon lay hidden beneath a Cloud. While The Moon lay hidden was part of the then-strong neofolk scene, Der Blutharsch started as a Martial Industrial project, showing similarities to Laibach or Autopsia. It gradually changed into a more rock oriented group, and in 2011 the extra name was added to emphasize the new musical direction. Since then, DBATICOTLH have released several studio albums and several collaborations, amongst others with Aluk Todolo, Wolvennest, Skullflower, Fuckhead or White Hills. In 2021, the group are a psychedelic rock band with some electronic influences. In October of that year, Der Blutharsch played a double bill with Italian group Ain Soph in Vienna. This album is a recording of that show.
