Dead Can Dance, The Serpent's Egg, The Host of Seraphim, 35 years


The Host of Seraphim is the kind of song that we can never forget and it marks a generation. It is the first song from the album The Serpent's Egg from the duo Dead Can Dance, having the iconic voice of Lisa Gerrard singing in glossolalia. Here's the studio version in this unofficial video combining Gregory Colbert's footage from his film Ashes and Snow which goes so well together with this song. Besides, Colbert used Lisa's musical compositions in that very work of art of his. Apart from Dead Can Dance live presentations, The Host of Seraphim has also been performed by orchestras and choirs with Lisa or other singers . Still, I believe the Dead Can Dance make the purest and the thrillingest performances, as this one shown here, from their concert in Lisbon last year.
