History

In 1998–99, Oliver Falk started to think about another project called Erben der Schöpfung next to his main band WeltenBrand. He talked to Thomas Rainer of L'Âme Immortelle about it for cooperation but unfortunately he could not join because of lack of time. This made Falk starting to work on his own on the compositions for the planned album ''Twilight''. After a while he was looking for a singer to complete his project and got introduced to Sabine Dünser. What was thought of as a two-man project got enlarged after letting Pete Streit playing the guitar on one of Falk's electronic/sample compositions. The blend of electronic samples, Sabine's voice and the e-guitar gave a unique blend so Pete became a bandmember. In the year 2001 their first longplayer ''

and Atrocity took care of the management. This was the beginning of the end of the band as it was formed. Several misunderstandings and fights between founder Falk, the rest of the band and the management split the band. The court was the last instance. Because of the false advice to leave his band instead of dismiss the other members and the management Oliver Falk lost the license for his entire work ''Twilight''. But he could save the name "Erben der Schöpfung" as a brand for himself. This forced the rest of the members to choose another band name which put out to be

and began to reform Erben der Schöpfung with guitarist Rino Vetsch. In 2005, the formation was extended by singer Dina Falk (WeltenBrand) and the work for a new album began. In August 2007, the band went to the studio for recording their new work. Its release date was set around the end of 2007 or beginning of 2008, but it has been changed many times since then, because the original idea of an EP was changed to a full-length album (because of the number of songs composed for the release). The current release date for this second full-length album (titled '' Narben der Zeit'') was mid-2009. On 8 March 2008 the band announced on their official website that Jens Wagner and Flo Riederer had entered the band as bass player and guitar player, respectively. The band released on 27 November 2009 a limited edition of ''Narben der Zeit'' as DVD and CD box.STORMBRINGER-News: ERBEN DER SCHÖPFUNG – 'Narben der Zeit' Cover, Track List & neue Songs online!
