Music in latin?

Postby Orwell » Thu Jan 25, 2007 3:47 am

Anyone know some bands that do music in latin? I *think* nightwish does, and Epica includes a bit of latin, but those are the only bands I'm aware of. This is probably something that should be directed towards the finnish, if the stereotype that Finland loves Rome is true.

And none of that Latin American stuff, since that's all google seems to understand.

Every band likes to throw some random Latin phrases in the mix, from Tristania to Sonata Arctica. If your question pertains soley to the metal genre then that's really all you're going to get, few phrases here and there with many bands, mostly in the Gothic genre. In general, I keep thinking in my mind Medieval Babes, I don't know if all their stuff is in Latin, I know there's some other languages going on there but it's worth checking out, although it is not metal in any way.

I'm not too concerned with genre, I'm just looking for more variations to add to the mix. I'd like to find a band who does all the music in latin.

"Era" sing in an invented language that very much sounds like Latin (well, when you don't know Latin, or else it's just gibberish!).

Their first album is the best one.

I recommend Lesiëm, particularly "Fundamentum" (sometimes incorrectly attributed to E Nomine), "Fortitudo", and "Caritas".

Helloween has a song sung in Latin. Can't remember it off the top of my head.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned E.S. Posthumus.

I know the two best latin songs that could ever be used.
the first is my favorite called "lilium" by Kumiko Noma
The next is the rock and roll version of One Winged Angel
I don't know who does it though.

Quoted for muggerfuggin' truth. Granted, it's not technically Latin, but it sounds indistinguishable to the untrained ear (99% of listeners, yours truly included). "One Winged Angel" can eat its one-winged heart out.

Also, there was an adventure/horror game released back in 1995 for the PC. Goes by the name of "Phantasmagoria." It had what was then, and what I still consider to be now, the greatest use of Latin-language choirs ever to grace videogames in the history of ever. IF you can get your hands on a copy of the game and manage to extract the audio (probably easier nowadays due to ripping tools coming a long way since 1995), it will be well worth your time. Oh, the song you're looking for is called "Consumite Furore," Latin for "Expend Your Rage." Man, I miss the old Sierra of the 90s.

If you're looking for stuff that sounds similar, try the symphonic-metal band Therion. Some of their stuff is in English or (I think) German, but they make extremely heavy use of choral groups and the vast majority of their songs sound somewhat akin to E.S. Posthumus on crack with backing guitars. A few good examples are "The Invincible," "Deggial," and "Via Nocturna" (Deggial), "Ginnungagap," "Niflheim," and "Summernight City" (Secret of the Runes), "Rise of Sodom and Gomorrah," "Morning Star," and "Black Diamonds" (Vovin), and "Typhon," "Quetzalcoatl," and "Abraxas" (Lemuria).

Therion was the band that pretty much blazed the trail that Nightwish, Epica, and others are following. They have some of the most amazing symphonic metal you'll ever hear, especially if you're a fan of tracks like "Ghost Love Score," "Consign to Oblivion," "The Phantom Agony," and "Cry for the Moon."

I think you're getting them mixed up with Evanescence.
