Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows, and was released in 1994.[1] The original pressing had no title, though the "...Ich töte mich..." line was printed in blackletter
on the back cover; later editions identified the printed sentence as the official title. Originally released as a limited edition of 1,000, the album has been re-released at least three times.

Overview

"...Ich töte mich..." consists of

Todeswunsch - Sous le soleil de Saturne and the raucous "Do you know my Name?" would receive equal treatment on Flowers in Formaldehyde
.

In 1999, "...Ich töte mich..." was re-released with slightly different artwork and seven bonus tracks, including a couple of demos; "Baptisma", "Beautiful Thorn" and the second half of "The Feast of Blood" (from

"Es reiten die Toten so schnell" (or: the Vampyre sucking at his own Vein)
.

The album has since been re-issued twice with different artwork; once in 2004, and again in 2008. The artwork for the 2004 edition stresses that the full recording consists of demos, and the accompanying press release from Apocalyptic Vision suggested to purchase "...Ich töte mich..." after one is already acquainted with Sopor Aeternus' music. This press release was later removed from the website.[citation needed] The subtitles of songs were not printed on re-issues.
