Blitz Union was founded in 2019 in Prague, Czech Republic. Mark Blitz, Schtorm, Governor, and Shodushi have known each other since their kindergarten days and are now fighting side by side for the Blitz Union cause.
The quartet composes, records, and produces their songs in the band’s own studio and with the help of Blitz Union’s unofficial fifth member: a mysterious figure named Mr. Blitz who uses the band to channel his messages. He appears throughout the band’s artwork, video clips, and during their live performances. But Mark Blitz doesn’t want to reveal too much about his enigmatic source. “He has appeared to me since my childhood,” said the singer. “Back then I didn’t really know what to think of it, but I’ve gotten used to him now. Mr. Blitz often appears in stormy nights when the atmosphere feels charged and there is a certain kind of electricity in the air. And it is important that I completely free my mind. He sends me images, melodies, and thoughts, and the messages come within a split second. It’s impossible to consciously influence or force it. Sometimes he comes to me a couple of times a day, sometimes he’s gone for months. Then I try to translate his messages into lyrics.”
Blitz Union brings together distinctly different influences and combines them with opulent visuals and their stylish stage look to create a captivating overall concept. The band celebrated its live premiere in the legendary “Whisky a Go Go” in Hollywood, followed by shows at the Los Angeles Music Conference and multiple festival performances in their Czech homeland. Blitz Union also toured Germany when they played two celebrated support slots for Oomph! and supported Lord of the Lost on their European Tour.
