Made-up languages in music

[Diaz]

there's this insane swedish (?) band of "ex-black metallers gone dark ambient", singing in Orkish...(!)
presumably there's an unhealthy obsession with Dungeons&Dragons/Lord Of The Rings going on there...!

Bowie's Warszawa is in an imaginary language.

There are other Japanese groups who do this, e.g. the Boredoms (at least on their old records, now there is often something resembling English). They called it 'boago' (Bore language). I think there were others too but nothing springs to mind at this moment.

Ruins definitely used a specific made up language. Could never be sure (cause I don't speak much Japanese), but I often thought that Gerogerigegege did the same. (Although - for that matter - I could never tell if Harry Pussy's lyrics were in English even at the noisiest point in my noisy music listening career).
