The End of LINGUA IGNOTA: Live at Islington Assembly HallReverend Kristin Michael Hayter releases the recording of the farewell to her old alias digitally via Bandcamp.

Strictly speaking, the preserved 74 minutes are only the first of the two farewell concerts UNKNOWN LANGUAGE in London – at the second show the following day there were apparently technical difficulties that prevented a (complete) release, according to the musician, which made her transition to Reverend has now taken place, makes it rather unlikely at this point in time.

This is also the case The End: Live at Islington Assembly Hall However, it has become quite a chunk that needs to be digested first. After the support appearances of KEN Fashion and Ashenspire After all, Hayter is already tempting ALL BITCHES DIE HERE (BITCHES ALL DIE HERE) The minimalist setting of voice and piano completely expands her singing, howling phrasing, to the pain threshold of theatricality and thus ensures clear fronts early on: a little is The End: Live at Islington Assembly Hall something like pure, archaic just because of its reduced staging UNKNOWN LANGUAGE-Drama, in all its painful beauty and mortifying melancholy.
This has to polarize and challenge even experienced ears – and not only because of the arrangements designed solely for the keys, it is also absolutely fundamental for at least every fan who was not able to see the American live on her farewell tour.

In any case, the atmosphere of the recording is haunting, the sound of vocals and instrumentals is clear and precise, the audience remains largely in reverent silence following the warm greeting and the abrupt farewell, and a few times you only think you can hear clinking dishes or something similar discreetly in the background .
In this setting, Hayter offers a no-length tour of her entire work UNKNOWN LANGUAGE, also the lesser-known footnotes of the traumatic story. Where CALIGULA (2019) is the focus and the remaining studio albums LET THE EVIL OF HIS OWN LIPS COVER HIM (with a dead sad THE CHOSEN ONE), ALL BITCHES DIE and above all (the masterpiece celebrated in detail the next day) SINNER GET READY from 2021 are rather underrepresented in the setlist Jolene, Wicked Game and (an interpretation of this that sounds more beautiful than ever) Katie Cruel but almost the entire repertoire of more or less pop cultureCover songs, really bright demo songs (KYRIE) or secret career highlights (O RUTHLESS GREAT DIVINE DIRECTOR) in a practically seamlessly sequenced flow that always keeps the tension extremely tight.
