(Sympho Progressive Black Metal) In Lingua Mortua - Bellowing Sea - Racked By Tempest - 2007, MP3 , 320 kbps

In Lingua Mortua was started by Lars F. F. back in 1999. The music was inspired by a wide range of music – everything from Norwegian black metal of the 90’s to prog rock of the 70’s, to jazz of the 50’s, to folk, country, classical music, electronica/trip-hop to film music (film noir and horror in particular) and so on…
The first album, “Bellowing Sea – Racked by Tempest” consists of 8 tracks (about 50 minutes) and was created in 1999/2000. Recordings began in the summer of 2000. Lyrically it’s a mix of Van der Graaf Generator’s “A Plague of Lighthouse keepers” from their 1971 album “Pawn hearts”, Dante’s “Inferno” and Homer’s “Odyssey.” With him he got Uruz (from Urgehal and Vulture Lord) on drums, Marius Glenn Olaussen (from Asmegin) on guitar, Trondr Nefas (from Urgehal and Vulture Lord) on vocal, Raymond Håkenrud (from Asmegin) on additional guitar, Kristian Hultgren (from Wobbler) on saxophone, Sareeta (from Ram-Zet) on violin and Jonny Pedersen on flute.
Things moved slowly, and the project was haunted by one disaster after the other. The last recordings were finished summer 2005… Since things was going so slow, Lars made the basic ideas for the second album, which is being recorded in these days.
Then autumn 2006 In Lingua Mortua was signed on the norwegian indie label Termo Records (www.termorecords.com), and finally the release dates were set to June 11th in Norway and July 16th in the rest of the world.
