Saint of the Pit, Diamanda Galás' fifth studio album and the second in her trilogy, The Masque of the Red Death, is an urgent record. Its theme is essentially passion, in the sense of suffering, although here, and unlike the passion of Christianity, there is little to offer solace. Re-released on Galás' own Intravenal Sound Operations (ISO) after its initial release on Mute in November 1986, Saint of the Pit is a masterpiece of witnessIng, forged from grief and fury during the HIV-AIDS epidemic.

CD includes an 8 page booklet with lyrics and translations and 14x19 inch poster. LP Packaged in a printed euro inner sleeve with lyrics and translations and 18 x 24 inch poster.
