Ben Harris This album made my skin crawl. Sometimes what makes a darker themed album disturbing isn't immediately apparent, the dread one experiences hearing it can be ineffable and difficult to define. This album sounds exactly like the product of theistic abuse and bloodthirsty religious insanity. Never have I been more grateful to have grown up in such a secular country. Favorite track: THE POOR WAYFARING STRANGER.

Jordan Vauvert Quel paradoxe... Les grands artistes évoluent, on l'accepte — presque un contrat tacite — et c'est pour ça qu'ils sont aimés. Mais quand Kristin Hayter a choisi de mettre fin à LINGUA IGNOTA pour devenir Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter, j'ai eu un pincement au cœur. LINGUA IGNOTA, c'était mon poison, mon remède. Bref : c'était une drogue. Finalement (parcours parallèle) moi aussi j'ai fini par vouloir changer et SAVED! a été une révélation. C'est une expérience musicale et sonore transcendante ! Favorite track: HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING.

Bart I listen to a lot of metal/hardcore/etc with dark themes. I don't think any were darker than this in 2023. Hypnotic and scary. Gotta be the right mood for this, but wow...impressive release. Favorite track: ALL OF MY FRIENDS ARE GOING TO HELL.

Mother who lives on the house on the hill Sucking her teeth till you bend to her will Cruelty and greed may on earth serve you well But when you die you are going to Hell. When you hear him coming you better run Better hold your name fast on your tongue Better fear his wrath in all you do Better pray what befell me won’t fall upon you. All of my friends are going to Hell None of them know from what I can tell I’m getting up from the place where I fell Lord please forgive me I don’t want to be like my friends Who are going to Hell. Brother who knows what goes on in the night He won’t lift his voice to speak up for what’s right Silence may let you to sit for a spell But when you die you are going to Hell. All of my friends are going to Hell None of them know from what I can tell I’m getting up from the place where I fell Jesus please save me I don’t want to live like my friends Who are going to Hell. Sisters turn their backs when you’re down and out They’ll talk about you out both sides of their mouth Better fear that fire in all you do Better pray what befell me won’t fall upon you. I can’t pretend I’ve done better than you I walked in the dark and I lost my way too But I’m on my knees in the place where I fell Begging God save my soul please don’t send me to Hell. All of my friends are going to Hell None of them care from what I can tell But I wanna rise from the place where I fell Jesus said get some new friends Cause these ones are going to Hell.

Would you be free from the burden of sin? There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood; Would you o'er evil a victory win? There's wonderful pow'r in the blood. There is pow'r, pow'r, wonder-working pow'r In the blood of the Lamb; There is pow'r, pow'r, wonder-working pow'r In the precious blood of the Lamb. Would you be free from your passion and pride? There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood; Come for a cleansing to Calvary's tide– There's wonderful pow'r in the blood. There is pow'r, pow'r, wonder-working pow'r In the blood of the Lamb; There is pow'r, pow'r, wonder-working pow'r In the precious blood of the Lamb.

IDUMEA 03:55
And am I born to die? To lay this body down! And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown? A land of deepest shade, Unpierced by human thought; The dreary regions of the dead, Where all things are forgot! Soon as from earth I go, What will become of me? Eternal happiness or woe Must then my portion be! Waked by the trumpet sound, I from my grave shall rise; And see the Judge with glory crowned, And see the flaming skies!

Once I was as ugly as a harpy-bitten tree And every voice within me spoke – you will never be free Once I was as ugly as a harpy-bitten tree But today I am as perfect as a single blade of grass Because I am free. In the night I was beset with demons I know all their names but cannot speak them Their grinning teeth split the darkness and I said I know your name, take your teeth out of me Return my body to me, release me Release me. My tears soaked my bed the blood of many wounds soaked my bed the sweat of many fears soaked my bed and I begged Release me. And Sinner Friend, I heard that Voice Sweet as a bright bell It spoke to me and said, sweet as a bright bell: I will always be with you I will be with you always. And I spat, who are you Some demon, do I know your name And the voice replied I am the one heralded by seven trumpets Have you not heard? I claim no thing and no thing can claim Me But I am yours and you are Mine For this hour you are free. And I said, Demon Release me I cannot release you for you are already free I made you as perfect as a single blade of grass Have you not seen? And the voice spoke, sweet as a bright bell: I will always be with you I will be with you always And so I sit at the table of God And my garment is woven from the stars And the leaves that fan from the trees That unfurl into Heaven. In my hair are lilies and at my throat are pearls And I will walk the streets of gold with naked feet All this was promised -- And came to be. And so, Sinner Friend, lay your burdens down The night is not yours alone to carry Take my hand, for in the dark I see you And I will speak unto you what was spoke unto me: I will always be with you I will be with you always.

Precious Lord, take my hand Lead me on, let me sta-and I am tired, I'm weak, I am worn Through the storm, through the night Lead me on to the li-ight Take my ha-and, precious Lor-ord Lead me home When my way groweth drear Precious Lord, linger near-ear When my light is almost gone Hear my cry, hear my call Hold my hand lest I fall Take my hand, precious Lord Lead me home O Dear Lord, take my hand Lead me on, let me sta-and I am tired, I'm weak, I am worn Through the storm, through the night Lead me on to the light Take my hand, precious Lord Lead me home. When the darkness appears And the night draws near, And the day is past and gone, At the river I stand, Guide my feet, hold my hand Take my hand Precious Lord Lead me home.

The Lord shall mend your broken heart And hold your aching soul His boundless Love shall make you Whole! May this comfort and protect you. His voice is heard in every song And every waking hour Each blade of grass and ringing bell Repeats his glorious Name! O Sinner Friend Be not afraid Your sorrows here shall end Know that in death you’ll live again! May this comfort and protect you.

I’m just a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling through this world below There is no sickness, toil or danger In that bright world to which I go I’m going there to see my father I’m going there no more to roam I’m just a-going over Jordan I’m just a-going over home. I know dark clouds will gather oer me I know my path is rough and steep But golden fields lie out before me Where weary eyes no more shall meet I’m going there to see my mother She said she’d meet me when I come I’m just a-going over Jordan I’m just a-going over home. I want to sing salvation’s story In concert with the blood-washed band I want to wear a crown of glory When I get home to that good land. I’m going there to see my brothers They passed before me one by one I’m just a-going over Jordan I’m just a-going over home. I’ll soon be free from every trial This form will rest beneath the sod I’ll drop the cross of self-denial And enter in my home with God. I’m going there to see my Savior Who shed for me His precious blood I’m just a-going over Jordan I’m just a-going over home.

Nothing can for sin atone Nothing but the blood of Jesus Naught of good that I have done Nothing but the blood of Jesus O how precious is the flow That makes me white as snow No other fount I know Nothing but the blood of Jesus This is all my hope and peace Nothing but the blood of Jesus This is all my righteousness Nothing but the blood of Jesus O how precious is the flow That makes me white as snow No other fount I know Nothing but the blood of Jesus

I know His blood can make me whole I know His blood can make me whole I know His blood can make me whole I know His blood can make me whole I was a gambler just like you I walked in darkness just like you I was sick and I couldn’t get well I was sick and I couldn’t get well I know His blood can make me whole I know His blood can make me whole I know His blood can make me whole I know His blood can make me whole I was a gambler just like you I was a gambler just like you I was sick and I couldn’t get well I just touched the hem Just touched the hem of His garment.

My life flows on in endless song Above earth’s lamentations I catch the sweet tho far off hymn That hails a new creation. No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that Rock I’m clinging Since Christ is Lord of Heaven and earth How can I keep from singing? Through all the tumult and the strife I hear that music ringing It finds an echo through my soul How can I keep from singing? No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that Rock I’m clinging Since Christ is Lord of Heaven and earth How can I keep from singing? What tho my joys and comforts die The Lord my Savior liveth! What tho the darkness gather round Songs in the night He giveth! No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that Rock I’m clinging Since Christ is Lord of Heaven and earth How can I keep from singing? The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart A fountain ever springing All things are mine since I am His How can I keep from singing? No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that Rock I’m clinging Since Christ is Lord of Heaven and earth How can I keep from singing?

SAVED! is an apocalyptic revelation on the complex, sometimes ugly, always nonlinear process of healing. Herein, Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter documents an earnest attempt to achieve salvation through the tenets of charismatic Christianity, focusing on the Pentecostal-Holiness Movement, which dictate that one’s closeness to God is demonstrated through transcendental personal experience. Sonically and thematically, the record is both a logical conclusion to and a significant departure from Hayter’s previous work as Lingua Ignota. Mirroring her personal evolution away from pain, she sheds the moniker that made her successful for its unflinching expression of lived trauma and instead builds herself anew, claiming her full given name, determined to see value within. Musically, while she continues to use historical avant-garde technique and formal constraints superimposed over accessible frameworks, she also strips down her instrumentation and degrades audio to provide a sense of musicological antiquity. Similar to Lingua Ignota, the record is steeped in pathos, but now the wrath of God gives way to His deliverance: “His boundless love shall make you whole.”


To evoke the lonely roads of salvation-seeking, SAVED! is stark, confined mostly to vocals (sometimes overdubbed into a dissonant chorus of twelve simultaneous voices) and piano prepared with bells and chains, the earthly and celestial. Speaking in tongues is achieved by self-imposing a variety of conditions; sleep deprivation, fasting, repetition of prayer, and sensory overstimulation. Working with long-time collaborator Seth Manchester to achieve a sound that is without era or place, high-fidelity recordings of each song were committed to a 4-track recorder, and then further degraded in a series of small half-broken cassette players. Tape manipulation techniques provide additional effects of deteriorating texture. The result is an artifact that sounds lost to decay, forgotten, as though never meant to be heard. This is all in service of the message -- that in its quest for salvation and healing SAVED! is a renunciation of life. Here solace is found in absolute retreat from the world, far from pain and sin, burning with the holy fire until the end comes. And it is written: as you are when the end comes, so will you be when you must face Him. Whether this is enlightenment or insanity is up to the listener to decide.
