Lovely Sounds - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows

Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows, Sopor Aeternus for short, is a darkwave musical project founded in 1989 by Anna-Varney Cantodea. In her work she mainly deals with pain, depression, isolation and the topic of suicide; all of these are the base of the "sacred trinity of [her] music, poetry and visual appearance". It is intended as a kind of self-therapy.Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows, Sopor Aeternus for short, is a darkwave musical project founded in 1989 by Anna-Varney Cantodea.

In her work Cantodea fuses elements of classical, medieval and electronic music, which I personally like a lot, because the music itself contrasts with the vocals, since it lighter and more playful. 

I'm still discovering, but so far "Hello", "A Strange Thing To Say", "Some Men Are Chocolate" and "We Have A Dog To Exercise" are my favorite songs.

Like the aesthetic, the music takes a bit of an open mind (which can't be practiced enough), because it is quite special, but it's nice to have something one has to think about for a moment, and that isn't clear from the start.
