Erben der Schöpfung (English: Inheritors of Creation) is a dark-gothic-metal/EBM band from Liechtenstein, founded in 1998/99 by Oliver Falk.
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 longplayerTwilight was released after releasing the single Elis under Falks label M.O.S.Records ltd. The single Elis contains a poem written by Georg Trakl.
Following great liveperformances such as at the Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig (DE) Tom Saxer, Jürgen Broger and Fraky Koller joined the band and Alexander Krull of Leaves' Eyes 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 Elis named after the first single release of Erben der Schöpfung's album Twilight. The band also remixed the song "The Witch" from Spiritual Cramp on the album from the German band "To Say Goodbye".
