Defixiones, Will and Testament

by Diamanda Galás

Defixiones, Will and Testament cover art

An overwhelmingly powerful, profoundly dark conceptual work mourning the victims of the Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek genocides. Galás delivers terrifying, multi-octave vocal wails and mournful piano dirges, incorporating traditional Middle Eastern mourning chants into a violently confrontational avant-garde masterwork.
