Diamanda is neither possessed by Satan or by the Christian god. She is possessed entirely by Truth. This piece, as is most of her Masque of the Red Death trilogy, is designed to turn the very words some Christians use to promote hate, intolerance, and death against them. Anyone who claims she is possessed by demons is simply unable to comprehend the full extent of her work or her theatrics. Her act is no less choreographed than that of your average revivalist preacher.
@Johnnysugar yes and yes. she's not even a believer in gods and whatsoever, although she uses it as an opposed sarcasm to make people realize god is the satan and that satan is present on the human race.
people who make war are possessed by demons. People who sing on stage in their own way with a great great voice & don't take themselves too seriously, are not !!
Listen this fills me with inexplicable peace. Nobody really ever able to match the talent of this woman. Diamanda is just wonderful . No one sings with such depth and has an incredible masterful body language as her.
HATERS THAT LEAVE NEGATIVE COMMENTS CRACK ME UP..95% OF THEM JEALOUS NO TALENT LOSERS THAT HAVE NEVER PLAYED A NOTE IN LIFE AND YET THEY FEEL LIKE SOMEONE WILL ACTUALLY GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THEIR LOUSY POST...IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT ,LEAVE.. NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK
her art is often too extreme no doubt! but she is very talended and highly trained in music too. and as WISDOMIST commended this is about AIDS and a lament for her brothers loss. references to satan and witchcraft are alegoric

how did he get aids? blood transfusion? or ass fucking other dudes? what does God say about homosexuality (not homosexuals) - it's an abomination. if you jump off a cliff you will die. she's still possessed by multiple demons. it's obvious.
i am an agnostic so i don't know god's views on homosexuality or even if he, whoever he may be, has a view on the matter, as you do. i don't believe in demonic possession either. this isn't the middle ages. religious bigotry is ridiculus!
Good heavens, you'd think the Christians would be pleased that God had gifted her with such great musical talents but, as usual, they're focused on Satan and claiming she's "possessed".
For fuck's sake, can't you see the irony in supposedly praising God, yet always focusing on what you think Satan's doing?!
@ska2808 Oh yes, you have to love it. It's simple mathematics... if you believe in GOD, you believe in a prime mover. So everything is birthed from the prime mover. What else WOULD she be channeling?
@madsketcher I don't believe in God (well, excluding the force of nature), my response was to the people who were saying that this is Satanic and evil - but it's wider than that. It just seems that they tend to focus on the bad and the evil in people moreso than the good.
@bsj2312 This performance is more atmospheric, but listen to anything from The Sporting Life if you want something more straightforward. "Dark End Of The Street" is probably a good place to start for someone who knows fuckall about avant-garde music.
@ska2808 I don't know if I would say Atmospheric. I would say it is spiritual, like Throat singing for instance. lol considering some of it IS throat singing. But she invokes a negative spiritual reaction because that is what she is trying to create.
@bsj2312 Actually what she is doing is fantastically difficult Of course you have to turn it all the way up and this medium just doesn't give it justice.
She actually splits her voice, singing several harmonics at once... it's amazing.
I find that it is very musical to me... but that is a matter of personal taste.

she's possessed by multiple demons. to be absent from this world is to be present with the Lord. so her brother's safe with Him. i don't believe in religion. i believe in reality. and Christ is reality. we'll soon see who's right and wrong, my friend. peace.

i do not believe in religion. i believe in Jesus Christ and the Bible. they are mutually exclusive. it is really quite logical. your statement is an example of the mind control working in our society today. have a nice sleep. we will all soon see.
Clearly - by the above statement - you are not in control of YOUR mind, so who are YOU to tell others? Logic has no place in religion (which - coincidentally - includes Christianity, even if you seem to think otherwise), as the more clever among you devotees might barely realize. There is also NO hard evidence Jesus ever existed, do some research! How you can take a 2000+ year old collection of fairy tales seriously is beyond me. Maybe it has something to do with the medication you're on?
'Nuff said', allright - for a gullible fool who cannot provide a decent argument in a debate in the first place. Do some thinking with that failing brain of yours and prove me wrong, THEN I MIGHT respect you. Quoting an insane snippet from the book of biggest lies ever told (as if that constitutes evidence) without quoting source, and whimpering out with nothing sensible to say is just what I expected. In a different age I would have hunted you down and slain your vile kind for mind poisoning.
easy to say from norway you coward. if you saw me you wouldn't threaten me. i dare you to hunt me down. i'm waiting for you in tampa florida if you've got the balls. i'll kick you and your demon's ass. pussy.
Yeah, prying YOUR lardass out of the comfy chair and flying to Norway is just too much work for you, Doughboy! I've fought fitter fools than yourself, don't get cocky. But unlike you, I'm not stupid! If you think I'll fly to Florida to commit first degree murder (even if it's just YOUR sorry existence) and ending up in jail, you're delusional. Wait, you ARE delusional! I'm not wasting my life on ending yours. I recommend aquainting yourself with reality. Greetings from your own personal demon!
By all means, give me a shout if you're ever in Norway - then you can call me a coward to my face. I'll make damn sure you'll eat your words. Now that is a standing invitation.
Respond to this video... Homosexuals are beaten, raped, and butchered everywhere. the middle east in no exception. Even within a country, if the murder is presumed to be on the margins, out of sight out of mind , The silence continues. Diamanda voices for those who have been annihilated.
I can't stop listening to her...I already have a lot of her albums
