BLITZ UNION

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.

The work Blitz Union began with their debut EP “Revolution” and expanded upon with their second mini-album “Not Proud” has continued as the band released its very first full-length album “Absolution” in November 2021. Following several single releases in 2023 and 2024, the long-awaited new Dolby Atmos Album “Evolution” (Release Date: 01/16/2026) is now set to arrive as a concept album that addresses the evolution of humankind in the field of tension between technology, identity, consumption, and nature – partly from a human perspective and partly through the "eyes" of artificial intelligence. The lyrics are often ironic, dystopian, and yet emotionally tangible.

The songs on “Evolution” collectively tell a story of humans in a rapidly changing world. In “Evolution,” an Artificial Intelligence looks at humanity – fascinated but critical – and offers itself as a solution to all our problems. “Blitzcoin” plays with the hype around cryptocurrencies and shows how easily people can be seduced by digital promises. “Say No to Nature” takes aim at our handling of the environment and shows how much we believe we can replace nature with technology. Personal topics also have their place: “Your Body” is a call for self-love and mindful treatment of one’s own body, “Mr. Guilty” addresses the feeling of constantly failing, and “FOTC” tells the story of the first sexual experience with humor and self-irony. “Freak Anthem” stands for self-determination and the courage to be different, and “Legacy” asks about our responsibility for the future. With the anthemic song “Mars,” the band describes humanity’s race to conquer the planet Mars to escape the inevitable destruction of Earth. But a nasty surprise awaits the first representatives when they land on Mars. All the songs together create a multi-layered picture: critical, direct, sometimes ironic – and always focusing on what defines us as humans today.

Blitz Union uses their songs to delve into the challenges facing Generation Y & Z: current social and political issues like environmental destruction, climate change, abuse of power, political persecution, homophobia, isolation, exploitation, corruption, the bubble mentality, and social injustice. The members of Blitz Union see themselves as a movement, an industrial rock think tank working towards a new vision for the future that evolves in a continuing dialogue with their steadily growing fan base. Blitz Union presents the ideas of change, hope, and the ability to take a broader view. “Even though it feels like the world is moving in the wrong direction, we’re all in the same boat,“ says lead singer Mark Blitz, “maybe we can turn things around if we all work together! Our task now is to find a common path forward for humanity. A path away from nationalism, from borders and any kind of social division. We need to stand together and finally face global challenges.”
