  There's actually a number of bands in Germany that uses various old/dead languages including Latin. In most cases they are just musical adaptations of historic texts, though, not novel works entirely. As far as rap music goes, I particularly enjoy this[0] interpretation of the "love" song "Ich was ein chint so wolgetan" (it's actually about rape, from the perspective of the victim[1]). It's alternating between Middle High German and Latin.

    This kind of verse is called macaronic verse (or makkaronische Dichtung in German). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaronic_language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaronic_language I think the Wikipedia article's coverage of the German/Latin macaronic verse tradition could use some more detail.
