Unusual music - Lingua Ignota's 'Caligula'

It's hard to listen to, raw and sometimes vulgar in language, very serious, and - worth listening to, ambitious and thought through. Not everybody is going to like it, but everybody should listen to it, as there is beauty behind it's brutality. The Quietus says "it is an album of baroque intensity and gothic flamboyance played out like one long cathartic scream". Her name is Kristin Hayter, her alter ego Lingua Ignota means "unknown name", she is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, and describes her music as "survivor anthems". Listen to the whole album at BandCamp.
