Diamanda Galás – The Litanies Of Satan (1989)

January 10, 2025

Short version: woman shouts into microphone

Long version: The Litanies Of Satan (comprised of two parts) is a harrowing listening experience based almost entirely around the artist’s maddening vocal layering; shouting, screaming, wailing, yelping – you name it! It’s all brought together here in a clattering cacophony of potentially self-indulgent yet absolutely terrifying sound. Of course this came from New York.
