Dead Lovers' Sarabande (Face Two) is the fifth album by darkwave band Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows,[1] and was released in 1999.
In (Face Two), the protagonist seems to have accepted the fact that her lover is dead and they will no longer share the same life they have led.
Anna-Varney Cantodea later admitted that "Dead Lovers' Sarabande" was dedicated to, but not about, the late Rozz Williams, former frontman of deathrock band Christian Death.
[citation needed] The album retains the focus on folk music and chamber pieces presented by (Face One), but transplants many of the string instruments for brass arrangements.
Electric guitar is featured on "If Loneliness was all", for the first time since "Todeswunsch - Sous le soleil de Saturne".
