Galás's next project revolved around the Armenian, Anatolian-Greek and Assyrian genocides that occurred between 1914 and 1923. This work took the title 'Defixiones – Will and Testament' in reference to the last wishes of the dead who had been taken to their graves under extreme circumstances, as 'defixiones' in Greece and Asia Minor is associated with the warnings written on gravestones by relatives of the dead to warn people against desecrating them. This material formed part of the 80-minute long album "" (2003), which was released simultaneously with "La Serpenta Canta" (2003), a live album including cover versions recorded between May 1999 and November 2002. One of the unaccompanied vocal pieces from "Defixiones: Will and Testament" (2003), "Orders from the Dead", was later used on the album "Aealo" (2010) by Greek black metal band Rotting Christ.
