Malediction and Prayer

by Diamanda Galás

Malediction and Prayer cover art

Stripped down entirely to grand piano and her astonishing, terrifying vocal range, this live collection finds the avant-garde vocalist reinterpreting traditional blues, spirituals, and dark poetry. Delivering themes of grief, disease, and retribution, her arrangements push conventional song structures into realms of theatrical horror and profound sorrow. It is a haunting, confrontational exhibition of raw emotional power.
