While no new Sopor Aeternus and The Ensemble Of Shadows album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in Australia. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Sopor Aeternus and The Ensemble Of Shadows on ‘Flesh Crucifix’. On Todeswunsch album, Sopor Aeternus and The Ensemble Of Shadows have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. If I may, I suggest “Flesh Crucifix”. That one song is amazing!
Die Bruderschaft Des Schmerzes is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. From the moment you listen to Shadowsphere I you’re hooked. Shadowsphere II is the most memorable and cool. After about the third Saltatio Crudelitatis listen through, I began to believe this song is Sopor Aeternus and The Ensemble Of Shadows’s essence. If you are a Sopor Aeternus and The Ensemble Of Shadows fan, you will love Just A Song Without A Name (Instrumental). I can’t stop humming along Soror (Sister Of Selfdestruction). I listened to the opening track Le Theatre De La Blessure Sacree and liked it a lot. I believe The Devil’s Instrument is one of the most excellent, heartfelt songs ever written. Todeswunsch is one of the coolest songs Sopor Aeternus and The Ensemble Of Shadows has ever recorded. I like to sing along with Drama Der Geschlechtslosigkeit I, though I mess up the lyrics sometimes. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. Drama Der Geschlechtslosigkeit II is a very catchy tune. Saturn-Impressionen was the first single release from the album Todeswunsch. Somnabulist’s Secret Bardo-Life - For me, this is the best of the album. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Only The Dead In The Mist hits the heart. This Profane Finality good vocals. Cage Within A Cage is so unique, as each one of the songs is.
