│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Good morning, good afternoon, good evening or ║ │
│║ good night (depending on where you are in the ║ │
│║ world), howÆve you been? IÆm good, thanks. ║ │
│║ Anyways, first thingÆs first, before we get to ║ │
│║ the review, letÆs take a minute to explain what ║ │
│║ is ôLingua Mortisö? ôLingua Mortisö was a 1996 ║ │
│║ album by German Heavy Metal legend RAGE, an ║ │
│║ album which took some of their classic songs and ║ │
│║ presented them in new symphonic arrangements. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Fast forward 17 years, RAGE is still going ║ │
│║ strong, and after playing live shows with whatÆs ║ │
│║ known as ôLingua Mortis Orchestraö over the last ║ │
│║ few years, RAGE finally decided to create a new ║ │
│║ ôLingua Mortisö album, this time however the ║ │
│║ band chose to create an album of all new ║ │
│║ material. Based on the true story of the ô1599 ║ │
│║ Gelnhausenö witch huntingÆs and featuring around ║ │
│║ 100 musicians, ôLMOö is a monster of an album. ║ │
│║ Make no mistake about it, this is a Metal album ║ │
│║ through and through, Composed by Victor Smolski ║ │
│║ with Lyrics by Peavey Wagner, this album is as ║ │
│║ much RAGE as any album they have released in ║ │
│║ their illustrious career, but this is RAGE with ║ │
│║ a completely different edge to them. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It opens with ôCleansed by Fireö a ten minute ║ │
│║ opus opening with a witch chanting with a choir ║ │
│║ coming in, this is the song that tells you all ║ │
│║ you need to know, the song is melodic, deep, ║ │
│║ heavy, catchy, this is Rage at their finest, ║ │
│║ Peavey WagnerÆs usually harsh vocals are softer ║ │
│║ here and are perfectly complemented by the ║ │
│║ female accompaniment, this song incorporates ║ │
│║ three parts into it, ôConvert the Pagans Pt1ö, ║ │
│║ ôThe Inquisitionö and ôConvert the Pagans Pt2ö, ║ │
│║ the guitar work by Victor Smolski is absolutely ║ │
│║ exquisite throughout. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I wanted to do the usual track by track review, ║ │
│║ but I honestly canÆt, it would take too damn ║ │
│║ long, this album moves and twists more times ║ │
│║ than I could possibly put into a single review, ║ │
│║ itÆs heavy as hell, the masterful blast beats ║ │
│║ are here, the guitars are incredible and at ║ │
│║ times reminiscent of the masters like Pell and ║ │
│║ Malmsteen. The choice to mix PeaveyÆs heavy ║ │
│║ vocals along with softer and operatic female ║ │
│║ vocals and at times choirs is a brilliant move ║ │
│║ as they blend perfectly. The album at times even ║ │
│║ has an 80s sound (like the opening of ôDevils ║ │
│║ Brideö). ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The bottom line here is that this album is ║ │
│║ nothing short of a masterpiece, if you love RAGE ║ │
│║ (like me), youÆll love this album, if you love ║ │
│║ Symphonic Metal, youÆll love this album, hell, ║ │
│║ itÆs very hard not to love this record as it ║ │
│║ features elements from a lot of metal genres and ║ │
│║ mixes it in with an amazing array of orchestral ║ │
│║ work. IÆm not really the type to call an album ║ │
│║ perfect, but I find it hard not to in this case, ║ │
│║ the hooks are there, and so is the heaviness, ║ │
│║ itÆs probably the best symphonic album IÆve ║ │
│║ heard without a NIGHTWISH label on it. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The album comes out August 2nd, and I certainly ║ │
│║ suggest you go on YouTube right now, have a ║ │
│║ listen to a sample and go out and get this album ║ │
│║ as soon as itÆs out, you wonÆt regret it. ║ │
