Therion - Symphonic / doom / death / "opera"

Therion has had a long history, started in 1987 they released 14 albums varying greatly in style.
As a result of the band existing that long they also have a long extensive history with all sorts of band members.

Its main distinctive features include a lot of choirs, sopranos to baritones.
If you listen to some of their songs the chances are that you'll find a lot of relations to runes, mysticism, mythology and all that sort of themes.

I bought the album "secret of the runes" when if just came out and thought it wasn't all that bad and listened to it a lot.
For some reason i just stopped listening to them and today i started listening a song by them from the album "Gothic Kaballah", it sounded new for some reason and hence the reason i'm writing this.

The history is too long to write here, and judging by some other reviews i wrote, it kinda shows that people wanna read short stories.
So we'll leave it at this and i'll post 2 songs from them.

Sons of the staves of time

Wow, Therion are so fucking great.
Probably the best Symphonic Band out there.
Saw their concert at the Wacken open air in 2007 and it was fucking insane!
It's too bad that i never got into them properly though...

Exactly, for some reason i've never really gotten into them but musically they kick ass.
Not as inviting as other bands or so it feels.

Oh yeah, I know the first song from a review... I like their music, but I never really got into them by today. Maybe I'll get one Album or two if I can.

maaan, i find lot sof awesome Non-scream-metal, you know what i mean? Awsome shit
