(English: "Brothers of the Shadow – Sons of Light") is the tenth album by Popol Vuh. It was originally released in 1978 on Brain Records. In 2006 SPV re-released the album with one bonus track that was originally released on the remix compilation Sing, for Song Drives Away the Wolves in 1993. The first two tracks from this album were used for the soundtrack of Werner Herzog's film Nosferatu the Vampyre.
In Italy the album was released with an entirely different artwork and under the title Nosferatu the Vampyre (Original Soundtrack) (PDU A 7005).
AllMusic stated in its review of the album, "Released today, BRUDER might be classified as a new-age album; in the 1970s, however, this was groundbreaking music."
