Not as challenging as Diamanda's past work. The first track is an instrumental piece, and after that nothing gets really weird until the last song, which sounds like an audio recording of an exorcism. This record shows off the more 'normal' side of Diamanda's voice well, though ("Deliver Me," "Artemis"). Saint of the Pit isn't unenjoyable, and the atmosphere it conjures is effectively creepy. It's just, overall, less striking than some of Diamanda's other work.
