The group was formed in 2000 by brothers Helmut and Franz Vonlichten. Helmut and Franz studied piano with their mother. After graduating from high school, Franz worked in recording studios while Helmut attended and graduated from UCLA, with a degree in archaeology. Their music has been licensed by many movie and television production studios, being included in numerous movie trailers and television shows. E.S. Posthumus released three albums overall in their career.
On July 22, 2010, it was officially announced that Franz died about two months before. After giving notice of his brother's death, Helmut stated that while there still may be one or two unreleased songs (One of them being their single "Christmas Eve" released in November 2010), the group would no longer be active. In November 2011, it was officially announced that Helmut Vonlichten has formed a new band called Les Friction, and released a preview at his new work with a track called "Torture".

Patermusa regen ergo mit entricto mi la fra trysil

The lyrics to E.S Posthumus's song Ebla are in a language that is not easily identifiable, which adds to the mystery and intrigue surrounding the song. The repetition of the phrase "Patermusa regen ergo mit entricto mi la fra trysil," creates a sense of ritualistic chanting. The combination of this chanting with the rest of the lyrics, which consist of seemingly meaningless words and phrases, creates a sense of otherworldliness and mysticism.
The use of the phrase "mi sa ta svee vee bellay na so ve mi ta say vay," which is repeated throughout the song, can be interpreted as an attempt to create a language that is specific to the song; this helps to further the sense of otherworldliness that exists within the song. The use of repetition in the lyrics also serves to create a hypnotic effect, which draws the listener further into the song's strange and mysterious world.
Overall, the lyrics to E.S. Posthumus's song Ebla are shrouded in mystery and are open to interpretation. Through the use of repetition and otherworldly language, the song creates a sense of ritual and mystique that keeps the listener engaged and intrigued.
