LABEL: Intravenal Sound Op
RELEASE DATE: 12/12/2025
VARIANT: Black Vinyl LP

An experimental, soul-stirring and unabashedly extreme work of art, You Must Be Certain of the Devil finds Diamanda Gals delivering heathen sermons, speaking in tongues and working an infamously stained glass-shattering operatic wail. The final part of her Masque of the Red Death trilogy her reflection upon the Eighties AIDS epidemic stuns the senses through avant garde gospel subversion, terror-blues improv and room-rattling industrial incantations. Remastered for its first vinyl pressing since 1988, packaged in a gatefold sleeve with a poster, and powerfully inspired as ever.
