E Nomine (from the Latin In Nomine, "In The Name Of") 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. The primary languages in the songs are German and Latin.

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,[1] 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.

In the year 2012, the founder of E Nomine Weller and Graner started meanwhile their new project. Schlafes Bruder. It's a self-proclaimed revolution of E Nomine.[2] It's a Hardrock Band which uses Latin chorus. The theme of their first album will be the crusades. The singer is Graner himself, who sang also Heilig and Excalibur, the last two known (but never officially released) E Nomine songs. Both songs are on the first 'Schlafes Bruder' album, released on 22.03.2013.

E Nomine's Christian-themed song "Vater Unser" (Our Father) and album Das Testament were very popular among the German public.[3]

Speculated end

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Some fans speculate the E Nomine music project will soon end or already has ended. Their official website has not been updated since early 2005, and no material has been officially released since Das Böse. In December 2007, the single Heilig was stated for release, but due to complications with their record company, it was pushed back into January and eventually February 2008. Despite this, an actual hard copy was never shipped to any stores and was only sold via select online music stores.

Sometime in the middle of 2008, various videos of an E Nomine performance emerged on several video sharing websites which contained a live music and acrobatic performance to select previously released work. It contained an introduction of "Das Beste aus... Gottes Beitrag und Teufels Werk", as well as the new "Heilig" and an unannounced new song "Excalibur". This performance was dated to late 2007.

In recent times, all albums have stopped being stocked in music outlets, and became listed as "discontinued". Friedrich "Fritz" Graner has left the group as well, leaving the project in the lone hands of Christian Weller. With little news since 2008, the status of the project is questionable.

In 2012, band started from anew and changed their name into Schlafes Bruder.[5]
