LINGUA IGNOTA BECOMES THE REVEREND KRISTIN HAYTER 

After announcing the end of the Lingua Ignota project, multidisciplinary artist Kristin Hayter has announced her new moniker & era: the Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter's first album, SAVED!, is arriving October 20th via Perpetual Flame Ministries. The first song, ALL OF MY FRIENDS ARE GOING TO HELL, is available now wherever you stream music & the video is available HERE.

REPENT NOW NORTH AMERICAN TOUR ON SALE NOW 

The REPENT NOW tour, an evening featuring two vastly different sets from Lingua Ignota, is now on sale via the ticket links on the show page. The tour spans two different months and includes the American south, east coast, and Canada, marking Lingua Ignota's first proper tour in three years. 

LINGUA IGNOTA INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF THE 10 ROADBURN SETS THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND 

 

As deeply personal and harrowing as the music of Lingua Ignota, aka Kristin Hayter, is, it belongs to a rarefied, sparsely populated realm (Diamanda Galás, Neurosis and possibly Swans being the only neighbours in visible distance) that feels supra-human, as though the energies she’s channelling have transformed her into something archetypal, transcendent yet terrifying – an emissary of judgement offering no refuge from her gaze. 

Utilising industrial judder, classical instrumentation as though recorded from the ruins of an old world, and a crystal clear voice as imperious yet intimate as the angel of death drawing a finger across your cheek, while wielding lanterns to guide you through the labyrinths of purgatory, there’s a paralysis-inducing emotional weight to her live sets that’s seen rapt fans hyperventilating and a need to decompress in their wake. Having played before in 2019, and been asked to be artist in residence for 2020, Lingua Ignota and Roadburn feels like a symbiotic relationship - a step beyond everyday consciousness, and a beacon to navigate by, illuminating innumerable paths to explore.
