Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows (Latin: sopor aeternus "eternal slumber"; also referred to or stylized as Sopor Aeternus or Sopor) is a neoclassical dark wave musical project based in Frankfurt.
The group was founded in 1989 by a non-binary multidiciplinary artist who uses the pseudonym Anna-Varney Cantodea.
The three demo tapes are often referred to as "Blut der schwarzen Rose" or "The Undead-Trilogy". Only the first has been released.
