...Ich Töte Mich Jedesmal Aufs Neue, Doch Ich Bin Unsterblich, Und Ich Erstehe Wieder Auf; In Einer Vision Des Untergangs...

Released in 2012 on the Apocalyptic Vision label, this record represents a significant installment in the discography of Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows, the project led by Anna-Varney Cantodea. The album, whose lengthy title translates roughly to 'I kill myself anew each time, yet I am immortal, and I rise again; in a vision of doom', continues the artist's exploration of themes such as isolation, metaphysical suffering, and gothic melancholy. It reflects a transition into a more theatrical and ritualistic sonic landscape, characteristic of Cantodea's commitment to self-mythologizing and the creation of highly intimate, hermetic art.

The design of the release is deeply integrated with the visual identity that defines Sopor Aeternus. Anna-Varney Cantodea serves as the primary creative force behind the conceptual presentation, ensuring that the packaging mirrors the esoteric and somber nature of the music. The aesthetic draws heavily from Victorian mourning sensibilities and surrealist expression, aiming to create a visceral, immersive experience for the listener that extends beyond the audio recordings. It was received as a definitive work within the darkwave and neo-classical scenes, noted for its uncompromising artistic vision and atmospheric density.
