Sopor aeternus (de)

No more fake and highly overpriced SOPOR AETERNUS products on Ebay!

Originally, when the EPs „Ehjeh Ascher Ehjeh" and „Voyager - The Jugglers of Jusa", both strictly limited to 3000 copies at the time, had been released almost exactly one decade ago now, they were not meant to be re-released ever again. But due to exorbitantly high prices for those releases, and the fact that meanwhile more and more pirate-products have appeared (like unauthorised merchandising, Russian bootlegs of the latest mini-album "Flowers in Formaldehyde", and most of all fake copies of their legendary first tape, for prices often more than 100 EUR), SOPOR AETERNUS and their record-label APOCALYPTIC VISION RECORDS have now decided to put a stop to these activities.

For the official collection of "Like A Corpse Standing In Desperation" all those long sold-out recordings have now been digitally re-mastered are being made available again. Carefully designed by Anna-Varney herself, this collection comes as a beautiful fan-box, which does not only contain a tripple-CD and a DVD-single, but also (along with a few lovely SOPOR-esque "singularities") replicas of the most favourite of the unauthorised merchandising-products.
