Album Notes & Community Reviews

In one of the decade's most unexpected pairings, the legendary Led Zeppelin bassist teamed up with the avant-garde vocal terror of Diamanda Gal谩s. The resulting album is a heavy, rhythmic assault of aggressive blues-rock and post-punk, providing a surprisingly muscular, structured foundation for Gal谩s's terrifying, multi-octave vocal gymnastics.
