Lingua Mortis is the eleventh full-length album by the German heavy metal band Rage, released in 1996. [2] It's the band's first collaboration with the Prague Symphony Orchestra, which played with the band Rage's songs re-arranged for a classic orchestra. The album consists of re-recorded songs from the previous album, Black in Mind and an epic medley of songs from recent albums to that time. A pioneering work in its own right, it's the first german metal album entirely recorded with an orchestra, and was one of the contributors to the gain of popularity of symphonic metal in the late 90's. The Lingua Mortis Orchestra ended up collaborating with the band several times in the following years.
