Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows - Todeswunsch
Review by Débora Quirino
Todeswunsch is the fifth studio album by Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows, and it is a dark and haunting masterpiece that showcases the band's unique blend of gothic rock and neoclassical music. The album's title translates to "wish for death," and the themes explored throughout the record are indeed macabre and melancholic.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Stake of My Soul," which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its eerie vocals and haunting strings. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through death and despair, exploring themes of suicide, loss, and grief.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Dead Souls," a cover of the Joy Division classic. Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows put their own spin on the song, transforming it into a hauntingly beautiful piece that is both melancholic and uplifting.

Summary by Débora Quirino
Comments
That's a very beautiful album.
Its sound is so medieval, fantasy and melanchonic.
