Ethernaut is a 2003 album by The Crüxshadows.

According to Rogue, the songs on Ethernaut are meant to be an allegory for the fall of Troy.[1] Rogue believes the Trojans to be the "good guys" of the story, and wrote Ethernaut to tell the story from the Trojan side, with a focus on the emotions of the Trojans.[2]
