Ethernaut is a 2003 album by The Crüxshadows, a gothic/electronic, "Dark Wave" band from Jacksonville, Florida.[1] The album, considered a "concept disc," was the band's fifth.[2]

According to Rogue, lead singer and songwriter for the band, the songs on Ethernaut are meant to be an allegory for the fall of Troy.[3] 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.[4]
