Bio:

Therion (formerly Blitzkrieg, Megatherion) is a Swedish symphonic metal band founded by Christofer Johnsson in 1987. Its name was inspired by the Celtic Frost album To Mega Therion. "To Mega Therion" is Greek for "The Great Beast" and was a title used by Occultist Aleister Crowley'.Originally a death metal band, Therion adjusted its musical style by adding orchestral elements, including choirs, classical musicians, and even a full orchestra at their concert performances. As a result, it has popularized the symphonic metal genre.In their biography, they state they have been cited as "the most adventurous metal band at present".Therion takes its themes from different mythologies and practices, including occultism, magic and ancient traditions and writings. Thomas Karlsson, the head and founder of the magical order Dragon Rouge, has provided lyrics for the band since 1996.On February 14, 2012, Therion announced it was recording a studio album and had planned a 25th Anniversary Tour.Les Fleurs du Mal was released on September 28.The album was not released by Nuclear Blast, but financed and released by Johnsson's own label, Adulruna. He calls Les Fleurs an "art project", which includes not only the music, but also special inlay graphics and video clips - later partly released on a limited edition DVD. The album consisted of covers of French chansons and pop songs that were performed in the band's style.On the release day the 25th Anniversary Tour was also started through Europe, also featuring the album's contributing keyboardist Stefan Jernståhl.On September 14, Johnsson posted a statement on the band's website about developing a rock metal opera, and that the band will not be doing any major tours or releasing studio albums.According this in 2013 the band played only at three minor summer festivals in Europe.In April 2013 this statement was reconsidered by Johnsson itself, and the Rock Opera Unveiled Tour was scheduled for December 2013 with 15 European gigs, to test the fans' acceptance on the new material. The main framework of these shows didn't only include excerpts from the future rock opera, but also the entire Vovin album due to its 15th anniversary.On February 21, 2014 two new releases were put on market: a deluxe edition of Theli - including three bonus tracks from A'arab Zaraq - Lucid Dreaming and a DVD with Theli's live performance - and a DVD set Adulruna Rediviva And Beyond with the 2007 Anniversary concert in Budapest and the 2011 Atlanta show.

Album:

Therion are a Swedish symphonic/operatic metal band and this is their seventeenth album.Where do you go after a three-hour metal opera marathon such as 2018’s Beloved Antichrist? Well, in Therion’s case, you condense, you prioritise arena-friendly catchiness, and you produce 46 minutes of thoroughly enjoyable material.Yes, this time around Therion have focused their attention on crafting crowd-pleasing, song-based tracks, and the album is full of catchy choruses and memorable songcraft. These new tracks are operatic/symphonic power metal songs, with bombastic atmosphere and rich arrangements. The songs are easily accessible for fans of power and symphonic metal, and have clearly been designed to appeal to a broad base. This is no bad thing at all in this case, as the music has an authentic, honest quality to it that belies its ostentatious nature. Balancing instant gratification against replay ability well, these new songs hit the mark very nicely indeed.The songs show good diversity within the musical framework that the band use, with a good selection of blood-pumping anthems, heartfelt ballads, and atmospheric pieces deployed, as a few examples. The music is as well-written, arranged, and produced as you would expect for a band of Therion’s stature, and there are plenty of earworms here to keep drawing the listener back, (Psalm of Retribution is a particular favourite of mine).There’s a great variety of vocals and vocal styles on display across the album, as is the norm for Therion, from power metal singing to full-blown operatic vocals and choirs. Guests appear too, including the male singer of Nightwish, (who has a voice I always love to hear), and current/ex-members of Scardust/Candlemass.The album reminds me much more of mid-period Therion than Beloved Antichrist did, (think Vovin to Sirius B), so if that classic run of albums does it for you, then you should find much to enjoy on Leviathan.I really, really enjoyed this album. Despite having a certain nostalgic quality to it, it stands tall in its own right by building on a classic era of the band’s discography and delivering a very fine collection of metal songs. If you’re a fan of symphonic power metal, why wouldn’t you seek out Leviathan‘s many charms? Very highly recommended.
