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 has since been pushed to mid-February 2008.
Some fans speculate the E Nomine music project will soon, or already has, ended. Their official website has not been updated since early 2005, as well as no official release of any material since Das Böse. In December of 2007, the single Heilig was stated for release, but due to complications with their record company it was pushed back into Janauary, and eventually February of 2008. Despite this, an actual hard copy was never shipped to any stores, and was only sold via select online music stores.
Sometime in mid 2008, various videos of an E Nomine peformance 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’. However, 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 Graner has left the group as well, leaving the project in the lone hands of Christian Weller. With no real news in 2008, the status of the project is questionable.

E Nomine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Und Jesus antwortete: "do sagst es."
E nomine, e nomine patris,
E nomine, e nomine pilati.
(*E nomine, e nomine, e nomine*)
Pilatus sprach aber zum 3. Male zu ihnen: "Was hat denn dieser Böses getan?
Ich habe nichts an ihm gefunden, was den Tod verdient! Darum will ich ihn schlagen lassen und losgeben."
Aber sie setzten Pilatus zu mit großem Geschrei und forderten, dass er gekreuzigt wurde, und ihr Geschrei nahm Überhand, und Pilatus urteilte, dass ihre Bitte erfüllt werde.
Und sie schlugen ihn ans Kreuz.
"Vater, vergib ihnen, denn sie wissen nicht was sie tun."
E nomine,
E nomine patris,
E nomine (*e nomine, e nomine*),
E nomine pilati.
E nomine,
E nomine patris,
E nomine (*e nomine, e nomine*),
E nomine pilati.
"Ich sage dir, heute wirst do mit mir I'm Paradies sein."
"Vater, ich befehle meinen Geist in deine Hände."
"Vater, vergieb ihnen, denn sie wissen nicht was sie tun."
"Ich sage dir, heute wirst do mit mir I'm Paradies sein."
"Vater, ich befehle meinen Geist in deine Hände."
E nomine,
E nomine patris,
E nomine (*e nomine, e nomine*),
E nomine pilati.
E nomine,
E nomine patris,
E nomine (*e nomine, e nomine*),
E nomine pilati.
E nomine,
E nomine patris,
E nomine (*e nomine, e nomine*),
E nomine pilati.
E nomine, (*e nomine, e nomine*)
E nomine patris,
E nomine (*e nomine, e nomine*),
E nomine pilati.
"Vater, vergib ihnen, denn sie wissen nicht was sie tun."
The lyrics of E Nomine's song "E Nomine" retell the story of the trial, suffering, and crucifixion of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Bible. The verses recount the conversation between Pontius Pilatus, the Roman governor of Judea, and Jesus, in which Pilatus asks Jesus if he is truly the Son of God and Jesus replies with a simple affirmation. Despite finding no guilt in Jesus, Pilatus yields to the demands of the angry mob and orders his crucifixion. The chorus repeatedly sings "E nomine, e nomine patris, e nomine pilati," which translates to "In the name of the Father, in the name of Pilate," emphasizing the religious and political motives behind Jesus' crucifixion.
The lyrics also include some of Jesus' final words on the cross, such as "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" and "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." These words convey Jesus' forgiveness and surrender to God's will, even in the face of extreme suffering and injustice.
Overall, "E Nomine" is a powerful and dramatic retelling of the story of Jesus' crucifixion, with haunting vocals and an intense instrumental accompaniment that heightens the emotional impact of the lyrics.
