Broken Gargoyles is a descent into human abjection, and beyond its agonies, into animality and subhuman ferocity. - NY Times June 2022 Employing a vast array of advanced vocal and instrumental techniques, Broken Gargoyles is arguably Diamanda Galás’ most intellectually, sonically and viscerally formidable work to date. The album finds the visionary artist deftly probing the weaving, warping transformation on the nervous systems of soldiers, facially mutilated and dying diseased. The album’s first part, “Mutilatus,” contains the Georg Heym poems “Das Fieberspital” and “Die Dämonen der Stadt,” and concerns the suffering of the soldier in the trenches and during innumerable operations in the hospital. Composed over a period of 10 years in Wroclaw, San Diego, and NYC (2012-2022), the first incarnation of Broken Gargoyles was played as a sound installation at the Kapellen Leprosarium (Leper's Sanctuary) in Hanover, Germany. This sanctuary was built around 1250 and served as a quarantine for those who suffered from the plague and leprosy in the Middle Ages. The work was finalized in 2022 in collaboration with the artist and sound designer Daniel Neumann. #diamandagalas #diamandagalás #brokengargoyles #vinyl #tshirt
