E Nomine
Encyclopedia
E Nomine is a German
musical project, formed in 1999, by producers Christian Weller and Friedrich "Fritz" Graner. Their music, which they call monumental dance
, is an unusual combination of trance
, techno
, and vocals which closely resemble Gregorian singing and chanting
. Other vocals are performed by German voice actors
such as long-time collaborators Christian Brückner
and Rolf Schult
.
After several years with no news of the project, e-mail correspondence between a fan and Chris Tentum (Weller) revealed that the group was in the process of producing new material, due for release some time in the near future. A year after this came to light, a new single from E Nomine appeared on Amazon.de entitled Heilig, due for release on December 28, 2007. The release date was pushed to mid-February 2008. Due to problems with their publisher, hard copies were never shipped, and the song was only made available for download.
