  • Bio

    Officially founded in 1989, the Germany based SOPOR AETERNUS & THE ENSEMBLE OF SHADOWS is one of the very few dark groups/projects in Europe (in fact, on this planet), 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 transgendered (and utterly beautiful) Goddess 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 … *********************************************************************************************************

    Hey, how are you doing? As for me I try to do the best I can.

    I would like to invite you to read my latest blog named “Why truth is so important” and comment on it only if you feel like it.

    Your comments are appreciated,  some of you may know that I am giving up on life but then why do I still search for answers to it?

    Well life is not just about me it is about everyone, I may fall but it does not mean that others have to face same consonances.

    Thank you.

    beloved queen...where is your facebook? have returned to the shadows as in the beginning? ... you've had enough of us mortals who love you? was great to hear from you, but the truth is that being on facebook lose some mysterious scent enveloped you, so if you decided to quit, I support you, or if it is a trick to be anxious to hear from you? like any addict? you are my beautiful drug.
