The band released a debut self-titled album in March 1995, with vocals done by both Protector and Silenius, as well as with the voice of Julia Lederer (Protector's sister) and Nora El Shamah. Die verbannten Kinder Evas returned after a two-year break with "Come Heavy Sleep", musically speaking, the recording remained true to their original sound, perhaps becoming more complex and more classical in style. The vocals are done by Julia and Richard Lederer, as Nora left the band due to lack of interest and Silenius focused more on Summoning.
Die verbannten Kinder Evas signed to Napalm Records in 1999 and released a third album, "In Darkness Let Me Dwell". With this release Die Verbannten Kinder Evas continue to make considerable use of their now trademark classical sound. Furthermore, the addition of Tania Borsky's singing talent to Richard Lederer's diverse vocal styles add colour and contrast to the dark tracks typical of the band.
The Die verbannten Kinder Evas' last album, titled "Dusk and Void Became Alive" was released in November 2006, which features a new female singer named Christina Kroustali.

Cease To Breathe
Die Verbannten Kinder Evas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please, no longer live not now
Close your eyes forevermore
Stop your heartbeat sounds somehow.
Tell me no farewell, don't speak!
I won't bury you, don't ask!
Choose your place in mystic dusk
Cease to breathe, my friend, I'll leave
Leave your shadow, leave your shape
Promise me: we'll meet in grief!
Silence nothing more to say.
I will help you now, just wait,
I shall see you'll come to stars.
Bring illusions there so far!
Bring the death there, don't be late!
The lyrics to Die Verbannten Kinder Evas's song "Cease To Breath" speaks of death and bidding farewell to a friend. The first stanza tells the friend to stop breathing, close their eyes forever and stop the sound of their heartbeat because it is time for them to die. The second stanza urges the friend not to say goodbye or ask for a burial, but to choose a place in the mystic dusk, preferably on the highest peak. The third and final stanza portrays the singer leaving the friend’s shadow and shape, and promises to meet again but in grief because there is nothing left to say.
The tone of the song is melancholic and wistful, as if the singer is saying goodbye to a loved one. The lyrics can be interpreted as the singer wanting to end the friend's suffering, perhaps from a terminal illness. The mystic dusk represents a place where the friend can find peace and tranquility, and where they will eventually meet again in death. The use of the word "illusion" in the last stanza suggests that the friend should not fear death, but embrace it.
