Album review: Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter – SAVED!
The artist formerly known as Lingua Ignota leaves the past behind and steps forward toward the light on brilliant, haunting first outing as the Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter.
Watch the video for PENNSYLVANIA FURNACE, the stunning first single to be taken from Lingua Ignota's upcoming album SINNER GET READY.
Lingua Ignota will follow-up 2019's incredible breakout album CALIGULA with SINNER GET READY, due out on August 6.
The musician – real name Kristin Hayter – will be making her Sargent House Records debut with the nine-song LP, which is described as "an unsettling portrait of devotion and betrayal, judgement and consequence, set in the derelict landscape of rural Pennsylvania, a neglected region deeply embedded with a particularly god fearing brand of Christianity".

To help paint this picture, Lingua Ignota has shared lead single PENNSYLVANIA FURNACE, a stunning song that "reflects on the inevitability of God’s judgment, evoking the legend of an 18th-century ironmaster whose dogs return to drag him down to hell after he throws them all into his furnace in a rage".
