Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter talks saying goodbye to Lingua Ignota, studying Pentecostalism, speaking in tongues and her new LP, 'Saved!'
“I can’t pretend I’ve done better than you,” Revered Kristin Michael Hayter sings early on her new album, “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.’” Ever since discovering her self-released 2017 album, I’ve found Hayter to be our uniquest and most gravitational storyteller.
With Lingua Ignota buried and mourned, she made her pivot to the next chapter: Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter. In December 2022, she and KW Campol launched their own label Perpetual Flame Ministries—which is, for clarification purposes, not a real ministry. While on a Lingua tour and decamping at a SpringHill Suites in Nashville, she went online and became an ordained minister.
Over the years, Hayter has become more and more skeptical of dogmatic belief systems. “I’ve always felt that I don’t really belong anywhere,” she tells me. And that goes for pretty much every area of my life. I wasn’t a noise artist, a classical artist or a metal artist. I wasn’t any of those things. But I, somehow, managed to find a way through all of them.” She’s taken this outsider’s approach and implemented it into her spiritual practices, too.
On the album closer “HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING,” the Holy Spirit moves through Hayter as she delivers a very angelic and operatic singing performance. But, beneath that beauty is a backtrack of her speaking in tongues. If you’ve been following her since the genesis of Lingua Ignota six years ago, you might be in the same company as me—in that this song very well might be the single greatest thing she’s ever produced. It’s upsetting, but in a way that’s deliberate.
