Lingua Mortis Orchestra
On August 2nd Lingua Mortis Orchestra will release their new album , concisely entitled LMO .
Lingua Mortis Orchestra was formed by the three RAGE musicians Victor Smolski ( guitar , keyboard and chello ), Peavy Wagner ( vocals and bass ) and André Hilgers ( drums ) as a continuation of 1996 ’ s Lingua Mortis album – back then a true piece of pioneering work .
The entire album was mostly composed by Victor Smolski who cooperated with two orchestras from Spain and Belarus , 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 is to 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 .
