MySpace a place for friends

This is the only (we repeat: the ONLY!) official SOPOR AETERNUS & THE ENSEMBLE OF SHADOWS (»SOPOR«) MySpace page, created with the cooperation, input, and under the considerate supervision of our most beloved Goddess, the wonderful  ANNA-VARNEY CANTODEA.

Naturally, the sensationally fabulous ANNA-VARNEY does not use MySpace herself (of course not, what do you take her for?!), but she is (and will be) providing ALL content (yes, all content, Daaarrrlings)  for this site ... – and in the unlikely case that the mood takes her, she may even write a few personal blogs from time to time.

PLEASE, do not send e-mails meant for the Goddess, asking for … well … it doesn't really matter what you might be asking for, because SHE is certainly not going to answer.  And yet, Her wonderful Loveliness has agreed to view this profile occasionally, so any fan-messages are best left as comments.

If there is an IMPORTANT(!) reason, however, why you feel you desperately need to show your appreciation in written form, you may send your letters (and donations) directly to SOPOR's record-label:

»Blessed be our beloved Goddess«

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.
