Les Fleurs du Mal - Die Blumen des Bösen is the ninth album by darkwave band Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows, and was released in 2007. Anna-Varney Cantodea has explained that the title is not a reference to Charles Baudelaire's 1857 collection of poetry of the same name, but that "it is related to Jean Genet's novel Notre Dame des Fleurs."[1] A double vinyl edition and a CD boxed set were also released in limited quantities of 900 and 2,000 copies, respectively. The limited-edition pressings included a 40-page booklet of lyrics and illustrations, as well as a 112-page manga about the album.
"In der Palästra" received release as a DVD-single, and the album proper was introduced and promoted via a promotional video.[2]
All songs written by Anna-Varney Cantodea, except where noted.
