Accompanied by the monotonous rhythm of a ritual drum, two old funerary violinist are pacing slowly through the darkness towards the black hole of a freshly opened grave…
With the single "IMHOTEP" (originally a special bonustrack only available for fans) SOPOR AETERNUS & The Ensemble Of Shadows are attending to a chapter from their 2004 album La Chambre d'Echo and use this radical revision to transform an almost entirely electronic song into a dramatic, chamber-music danse macabre.
Reduced to the bare bones, only accompanied by percussion, a death-bell and two string-players, the fabulously eerie Saint-Varney-of-the-Dead is singing a sad lament of suffering and pain, and demonstrates once again that SOPOR AETERNUS & The Ensemble Of Shadows are still entirely beyond comparison.
