Greek-American legend Diamanda Galás delivers a sonically razed industrial-operatic soundscaping in her latest project, paying homage to a Medieval plague sanctuary in Hanover. This unique and fanged composition is a timely ode to the current global crisis, reflecting Galás’ fascination with the Kapellen Leperosarium, a 13th-century quarantine facility for plague victims and lepers. Drawing inspiration from German poet Georg Heym, particularly his works on yellow fever and the atrocities of World War I, Galás weaves a haunting narrative that combines grinding industrial backdrops, operatic vocals, and chiming bells to create an immersive sonic experience.

‘Mutilatus,’ the album’s first side, showcases Galás’ collaboration with engineer Kris Townes, resulting in a mesmerizing blend of German poetry, Galás’ unmistakable operatic tones, and the eerie resonance of Heym’s words. The incorporation of piano and uneven rhythmic beats punctuates the heaving oscillations, adding an unsettling yet captivating dimension to the composition. On the reverse side, Galás delves deeper into Heym’s works, specifically ‘Der Blinde’ and ‘Der Hunger.’ Here, she skillfully infuses medieval dread with contemporary disoriented anxiety, creating an astonishing portrayal of a crumbling civilization. The incorporation of grizzled power electronics, opera theatrics, bejeweled classicism, and creaking folk showcases Galás’ unmatched versatility and cements her status as a legendary artist in her own right. Brace yourself for a visceral journey that explores themes of dread, isolation, and cruelty – a chilling soundtrack that reminds us of the cyclical nature of history.

Galás’ sonic masterpiece stands as a testament to her profound talent and ability to captivate audiences through her unique artistic vision. This album is not for the faint of heart, as it delivers a raw and unapologetic portrayal of the dark undercurrents of our world. As we navigate through the current global crisis, Galás invites us to confront our own fears and uncertainties, ultimately reminding us that history has a tendency to repeat itself. Immerse yourself in this spellbinding composition and allow Galás’ music to transport you to a realm where past and present blend seamlessly – a journey that will leave an indelible mark on your psyche.
