Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 60: Corey, Jade, and Matt of Freedom of Fear (Adelaide, Australia)

Lingua Brutallica

In this episode we are joined by Corey, Jade, and Matt, of Adelaide's premier melodic death metal outfit - Freedom of Fear. The band describe how, by drawing on fears and fantasies – of space, of vampires, of nothingness, and the impermanence of everything - their lyrics stress the power of nature vis-à-vis the insignificance of humans. To compose these lyrics, the band eschew their spoken Australian English vernacular, instead constructing a literary and archaic style, studded with old English and Latin forms, to transport listeners away from the everyday and towards their gothic fantasy realm.
