E Nomine has a new single and a new album, but when are they being released?
E Nomine is a well known name among German music fans. Their catchy electronic dance music combined with traditional Gregorian-style chanting elements is quite an impressive combination to say the least. Unfortunately, it has been several years since a new E Nomine album was released and fans have begun to get anxious. The band hasn’t even updated their website in 3 years! There was a glimpse of hope last year when a new single called “Heilig” appeared on some music mailorder sites including Amazon.de, but the supposed December 28th, 2007 release was cancelled and we still have no new E Nomine to listen to.
Or do we? You obviously can’t order the single from anywhere, but a little bit of research did reveal a website where you can listen to short clips from this 6-track maxi single. Well, that’s a start. But I’ve also heard that the new album is called Das Dunkle Element and it’s been finished for a while now. It also appears to contain some songs that were already previously released (for example, the title track “Das Dunkle Element” was released on the “Das Böse” single). So what’s stopping the release? Maybe E Nomine is having label problems, maybe the members are having personal issues, I really don’t know. If you have any tips about E Nomine, please leave a comment and share your knowledge with us.

If thats the real album tracklist, that’s a real joke somehow. About 80% of it was already released on Das Böse, Vater Unter Part II, and the best of Das Beste Aus…. I hope the album tracklist is just a rumor.

I think, that it’s a fake tracklist (I’m about album)
Also I have 2 full-length songs from Heilig(Extended Version & Radio Edit), but I can’t find other songs… So, thease 2 songs might be some kind of promo version of single

Hi Joki and Schattenkrieger,
I know most of these songs were already released, and I was sure to say this in the article. It’s just a rumor so far, this is all I heard, so please don’t mistake it for any official news.
I hope it’s not true because I would love to hear more all-new music, but maybe it’s some kind of best-of CD… I don’t know yet.
However, the Heilig single tracklisting was indeed official before the release was cancelled. Will this be the same tracklisting for whenever it’s finally released? Nobody knows.
Thanks for your comments!

I sure hope it’s a best-of it isn’t a joke, but either way signs of life from the band are good news in my books, even if it is just a best-of

A best of would make no sense, their latest release was actually a best of… what is listed here is all the “new” songs that were on the other best of, plus a few b-sides. I guess some kind of compilation to make some money is something the label might do, but I feel it definitely couldnt be called a best of.
