The Litanies of Satan

by Diamanda Galás

The Litanies of Satan cover art

Diamanda Galás's debut is a profoundly harrowing, viscerally disturbing exploration of the absolute limits of the human voice. Using intense vocal gymnastics, multi-tracking, and severe tape manipulation, she interprets Charles Baudelaire's poetry as a terrifying, infernal avant-garde shriek, cementing her status as a wholly unique, manic musical force.
