LMO is the debut album by Lingua Mortis Orchestra and the 21st studio album by German heavy metal band Rage released on August 2, 2013 through Nuclear Blast Records. The production was helmed by Charlie Bauerfeind.

Album information

The entire album was composed by Victor Smolski, who cooperated with two orchestras from Spain and Belarus, enlarging the number of this project's participants to more than 100. Together with longtime co-producer Charlie Bauerfeind, Smolski produced and mixed the record in Twilight Hall Studio in Krefeld, Germany. LMO follows the concept of the burning of witches in Gelnhausen in 1599 and was written by vocalist Peter Wagner based on a true story. The cover artwork was created by Felipe Machado Franco who had also been responsible for the latest Rage artwork, 21. The band photos were shot by Pia Kintrup.
