Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows: Es reiten die Toten so schnell (or The Vampyre Sucking at his Own Vein)
It’s an eerily attractive package for those who appreciate agonized expressions, androgynous bodies, and the aesthetics of the damned. What it all sounds like is a graveyard chamber orchestra, complete with strings and horns performed by a long list of guest musicians and produced by John A. Rivers (Love and Rockets, Dead Can Dance, Buzzcocks).
