On Friday, August 2nd LINGUA MORTIS ORCHESTRA will release their new album, titled LMO, via Nuclear Blast. In anticipation of the release, the band has shot a series of track-by-track videos, providing background information on each of the record’s songs. Part 1 can be seen below:

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.

Most of the album was 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.

The following new trailer introduces the album’s vocalists:

LMO follows an exciting concept on the burning of witches in the German town of 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.
