LINGUA MORTIS ORCHESTRA - First Taste Of RAGE Members Orchestral Project; Live Dates ConfirmedOn Friday, August 2nd
LINGUA MORTIS ORCHESTRA will release their new
album titled LMO via Nuclear Blast. The three
RAGE musicians
Victor
Smolski (guitar), Peavy Wagner (vocals and bass) and André Hilgers
(drums) have been focused on their opulent orchestral project that can
be considered a continuation of 1996’s Lingua Mortis album, back then a
true piece of pioneering work.
The first impression of the project has been unveiled in the trailer below:

The entire album was composed by Victor Smolski who cooperated with two
orchestras from Spain and Russia, enlarging the number of this mammoth
project’s participants to more than 100. Together with long-term
co-producer Charlie Bauerfeind (BLIND GUARDIAN, HAMMERFALL among
others), Victor Smolski produced and mixed the record in Twilight Hall
Studio Krefeld, Germany. The final mastering will be done within the
next days.
LMO follows an exciting concept on the burning of witches in
Gelnhausen in 1599, written by vocalist Peavy Wagner and based on a true
story. Apart from the three Rage musicians, two female vocalists belong
to
Lingua Mortis Orchestra’s regular cast: Jeannette Marchewka and
soprano singer Dana Harnge. Guest vocals were contributed by Henning
Basse (ex-METALLIUM), among others.
The cover artwork below was created by Felipe Machado Franco who’s
