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
Endlos
Heimataerde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Erloschen wurd´ die Lebensglut
Gebrochen wurd´ des Ahnen Herz
Erfuellt von tiefem, kaltem Schmerz
Doch nun färbt sich das Wasser rot
Des Feindes Blut, er schlug ihn tot
Gereicht zu ihm des Leides Qual
Nun gehen sie durchs dunkle Tal
Endlos, Endlos diese Wut
Endlos, Endlos ist der Tod
Endlos, Endlos diese Not
Endlos, Endlos ist der Tod
Von Hass erfüllt und ohne Gnad´
Gelassen ein des Blutes Bad
Des Königs Sohn er lebt nicht mehr
Zur Rache führt er nun sein Heer
Und nun färbt sich das Wasser rot
Des Feindes Blut, er schlug ihn tot
Denn nun erfüllt sich seine Qual
Der Weg er führt ins dunkle Tal
Endlos, Endlos diese Wut
Endlos, Endlos ist der Tod
Endlos, Endlos diese Not
Endlos, Endlos ist der Tod
The lyrics to Heimataerde's song "Endlos" describe a scene of revenge and bloodshed. The singer lies in a pool of blood, having taken the life of his enemy. Though his ancestor's heart was broken, he has fulfilled his duty and avenged himself against his foe. The water around him is stained red with the blood of his victim as he and his army march through the dark valley. The song contains a refrain that emphasizes the cyclical nature of violence, with the phrase "endlos" (endless) repeated multiple times to convey the unrelenting nature of death and suffering.
The lyrics illustrate the common human experience of seeking retribution in the face of personal tragedy. The singer has endured indescribable pain but ultimately channels that energy into the act of seeking revenge. This concept is portrayed in an evocative way with the description of the water turning red and the use of the words "Wut" (anger), "Not" (distress), and "Tod" (death) to reflect the emotions and violence that pervades the scene.
Overall, "Endlos" is a powerful song that uses vivid imagery and strong emotions to convey the human experience of revenge and the unrelenting cycle of violence that can result.
