Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows (Latin: sopor æternus "eternal sleep"; often referred to or stylized as Sopor Aeternus or Sopor) is a darkwave musical project based in Frankfurt, founded in 1989 by Anna-Varney Cantodea. Anna-Varney's work is extremely personalized, melancholic and pessimistic, drawing on a number of different musical and visual styles, and has garnered a cult following.
Anna-Varney Cantodea
Cantodea is a transgender woman. She has never undergone surgery to change sex and does not intend to. Cantodea's pseudonym is derived from several sources. Firstly, the common name Anna, and secondly the Latin word cantodea, a composed neologism meaning "I sing, goddess". (As a side note, the Latin term for "female singer" is cantrix.) She had been using the stage name "Varney" prior to 1997, that name taken from the VictorianGothic horror story Varney, the Vampire; or the Feast of Blood.

Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows - Alone ♫•♫
From childhood's hour I have not been as others were - I have not
seen as others saw - I could not bring my passions from a comon spring.
From the same source I have not taken my sorrow;
I could not awaken my heart to joy at the same tone.
And all I lov'd I lov'd alone. Then - in my childhood - in the dawn of a most stormy life
was drawn from every depth of good and ill the mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain, from the red cliff of the mountain,
from the sun that `round me roll'd in it's autumn tint of gold
from the lightning in the sky as it pass'd me flying by
from the thunder and the storm, and the cloud that took the form
(when the rest of heaven was blue) of a demon in my view.

Es poco lo que se sabe acerca de Anna-Varney Cantodea, salvo que ha creado un personaje andrógino oscuro y rodeado de misterio, muy acorde con la música del grupo. Anna-Varney se niega a actuar en directo "para seres humanos" y ni siquiera se conoce su nombre real. En las fotos suele aparecer fuertemente maquillado o con máscaras. No realiza entrevistas en persona y sólo las concede si éstas se hacen en condiciones que garanticen su anonimato.
