Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows

[enjoi_rootbeer]

I came across Sopor Aeternus while looking through a friend's collection. It's like metal, ...with a horn section, like Skinny Puppy meets Lord of the Rings soundtrack. If Gollum/Smaegol made music.

from wikipedia Quote:

Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows is a gothic or darkwave band consisting solely of Anna-Varney Cantodea. Not much is known about Anna-Varney, save for the tortured life she lived which led to the band's existence. She has said in several interviews that she spent nearly three decades in extreme states of depression, despair and loneliness, all of which resulted in her discovery of the "Ensemble Of Shadows", otherwordly presences and/or voices who stirred her musical senses and guided her to share the works in her head with the public. She does not speak much on the subject of the Ensemble, nor does she perform live "in front of humans." Anna-Varney does have a sense of humour however, such as admitting she loves Darth Vader and changing the Fruit of the Loom logo to "Fruit of the Tomb", which incorporates his/her face into the design.
