In 2005, Heimataerde was signed by Metropolis Records, and their album, Gotteskrieger, was released by the label in April. The album is state of the art harsh EBM/industrial with beats designed to take the underground dance floors by storm. While musically Heimataerde is much in the vein of legendary dark EBM acts like older Wumpscut and Suicide Commando, the music does have its own unique identity, and a modern, up to date sound. With tracks like "Gib Mir" and "Ich Hab Die Nacht Getraeumet" already taking over the dance floors all over the world, Heimataerde has already laid the groundwork for its club invasion.
In August 2006, the next album, Kadavergehorsam was released and ties seamlessly into Heimataerde's prior works.
In 2008, the most recent album Leben Geben Leben Nehmen was released.
As of Late September 2009, there is an upcoming album "Unwesen", and trailers for the album can be seen at http://www.myspace.com/heimataerde
Die Offenbarung
Heimataerde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gott der Templer,
Anwalt der Verdammten
Und Führer der Seelen durch die Unterwelt
Höre. Ich bin Baphomet
Denn ich bringe das Licht hervor,
Doch in Wahrheit
Die Finsternis gehört zu meiner Natur
Ich bin Baphomet
The lyrics of Heimataerde's song Die Offenbarung are referring to Baphomet, who is considered to be a deity in several belief systems. Baphomet is the god of the Knights Templar, and according to the lyrics, he is also the advocate of the damned and the guide of souls through the underworld. The song is suggesting that Baphomet brings both light and darkness, and that darkness is a part of his nature. There is an underlying suggestion that darkness is not necessarily evil, but rather a natural and necessary aspect of existence.
The lyrics are expressing a sense of power and authority that Baphomet possesses. He is the one who guides souls through the underworld, indicating that he has a deep understanding of the human psyche and the afterlife. The song portrays him as a complex and multifaceted deity, which is typical of the way Baphomet is depicted in different belief systems. The lyrics also suggest that Baphomet is a deity who is not to be trifled with, and is instead to be respected and feared.
Overall, the song is a celebration and exploration of the power of Baphomet, a deity who has captured the imagination of many people over the years. The lyrics paint a picture of a complex and powerful figure who embodies both light and darkness, and who has the ability to guide souls through the trials of the afterlife.

The Templar knight follows in an endless quest longing for a purpose, exploring the deepest realms of his damned, dark, melancholic existence.
