La Chambre d'Echo – Where the Dead Birds Sing is the eighth album[2] by darkwave band Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows, and was released in 2004.
La Chambre d'Echo saw the return of synthesizers and drum machines, while still focusing on chamber music-inspired darkwave music.
[3] La Chambre d'Echo was heavily inspired by Der Narrenturm,[4][5] an old Austrian hospital and psychiatric ward that has since become a museum of diseases, mutations and abnormalities of the human body.
The standard edition comes inside a 128-page, A4-sized book containing photography by Joachim Luetke, as well as handwritten lyrics provided by Cantodea.
Curiously, the cover of the vinyl edition featured an image taken for the previous album, Es reiten die Toten so schnell (or "The Vampyre Sucking at His Own Vein'").
