Lingua Ignota

Experimental Multi-Genre Music Artist

Lingua Ignota is the stage name of American musician, artist, and composer Kristin Hayter. Her work is known for its intense, emotionally charged output that blends elements of classical music, industrial, metal, and experimental noise. Hayter's background in classical music and her experiences with themes of survival and abuse inform her powerful and often harrowing soundscapes. She has a reputation for visceral live performances that are both confrontational and cathartic. Lingua Ignota's music defies easy categorization, as it often incorporates liturgical influences alongside avant-garde sensibilities. Her albums "All Bitches Die" (2017) and "CALIGULA" (2019) have been critically acclaimed for their raw, unflinching approach to personal trauma and the exploration of themes such as vengeance and transcendence. Through her unique voice and uncompromising artistic vision, Lingua Ignota has carved out a distinct niche in the contemporary experimental music scene.
