Therion (band)
Therion (formerly Blitzkrieg) 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, they are considered pioneers of the symphonic metal genre. Therion takes its themes for the lyrics from different mythologies and practices, including occultism, magic and ancient traditions and writings.

The album is the soundtrack to a rock musical by the band, who are accompanied by a large orchestra and choir. The staging of the rock musical was delayed indefinitely due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead, the band started to work on the next regular album ''Leviathan''. ''Beloved Antichrist'' was the band's first release of new original material since '' Sitra Ahra'' in 2010. Group founder Christofer Johnsson had toyed with the idea of writing an opera for 15 years and had finally decided to "do metal/rock music with opera" instead, citing his inability to write "the ‘boring’ stuff" like recitatives. Thus, Beloved Antichrist features exclusively operatic singing combined with an orchestra and electric instruments typical of a rock band. The music was composed by Johnsson, Thomas Vikström, Linnéa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
