Officially founded in 1989, the Germany based Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble… Read Full Bio ↴Officially founded in 1989, the Germany based Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows is one of the very few dark groups/projects who have based the trinity of their music, poetry and visual appearance on the explicit emphasis of the highly individual expression of pain, isolation, depression, token suicides and the desperate search for the "sacred reunion"; all acted out by their sole protagonist – the transgender Anna-Varney Cantodea.
Best described as "introverted exhibitionism", the holistic concept of their ritualistic/Jungian art is not necessarily rooted in the grounds of a commonly accepted sense of aesthetics – which is one of the many aspects that gives their work its serious and most unique character. Though their music playfully fuses elements of classical, baroque, medieval, and even electronic music, the essence of Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows always remains entirely "goth".
Despite the fact that to this very day they still refuse to perform live in front of a human audience, Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows have long gathered cult status in underground circles worldwide.
Strongly recommended to be approached only with an open heart and mind, the profound darkness (and occasionally subversive humour) of their multi-layered (yet fragile) art is mainly intended as a spiritual healing-process for the wounded soul.

As through the pipes the waters fell
Down to the bottom of the well
In listless apathy I gazed
At the cold waters ... as he bathed
I have beheld that scenery
And it's most sensual masculinity
Yet, disappointment, oh, can't you see?
Is still the cause and the cardinal symptom
Of my sick, sad reality
Silver equals chill, but that suits me just fine
I'm shyly sipping water ... while he drinks whole jugs of wine
He likes all kinds of women, and I ... I only hate ... men
He marvels at all things new to him ...
And I only wait ...
For all things in this sick world... to end
The water pouring down his spine
Caressed his strong physique
Oh, so well-defined
Calm like a rock he stands
Oh, behold his body and soul
A friendly God must have built this man
To an all well-balanced whole
What sad bewilderment of this brought
Physical clearness, alas ...
Still so much abhorred
An ancient ghost awoke and fiercely arose in me
It was that old, savage, yet half-forgotten ideal of perfect neutrality
Silver equals chill, but that suits me just fine
I'm shyly sipping water... while he drinks whole jugs of wine
He likes all kinds of women, and I ... I only hate... men
He marvels at all things new to him...
And I only wait...
For all things in this sick world... to end
I somewhat envy this naturally beautiful man
He never knew or encountered the hatred and shame that I bear
The doubt, the cloak of disgust and the all-devouring dread
And if I told him about it
He might only shake his head
With kindly amused, melodious laughter
He then would perhaps merely smile at my ...
Oh, so stupid silliness ...
And the beast that is raging inside

Recuerdo que conocí esta canción por una chica con la que hablaba por meseenger hace muchos años, ella estaba siempre sola porque su esposo trabajaba en un barco atunero, vivia en Madeira Portugal, y nos hacíamos compañía hablando de escuchando música. Un día perdí tod9 contacto con ella pero cada vez que escuchó esta canción me recuerda a ella y me produce una sensación tan especial de melancolía y recuerdos. Espero que se encuentre bien en donde quiera que esté.
