A symphonic metal band from Stockholm, Sweden, Therion was founded by Christofer Johnsson in 1987/1988. Initially starting with a death metal sound, the band soon evolved into a more complex and symphonic direction. Over the past two decades, Therion has perfected their unique blend of metal and orchestral/classical music elements.

With their exceptional skills, Therion effortlessly combines ripping metal riffs, epic operatic vibes, symphonic elements, and complex multi-layered choirs within their compositions. The current line-up includes Christofer Johnsson on guitar, keyboards, programming, bass and vocals since 1988; Sami Karppinen on drums (1998–2001, 2017–); Nalle Påhlsson on bass (2008–); Thomas Vikström on vocals and flute (2009–); Christian Vidal on guitars (2010–); Lori Lewis on vocals (2011–). 

Therion collaborates with talented artists such as Chiara Malvestiti for vocals since 2015; Rosalía Sairem for vocals since 2019; Justin Biggs for bass since 2019. Drawing inspiration from bands like Theatre Of Tragedy, Tristania, Epica and many others [listed above], Therion continues to captivate audiences worldwide with their powerful and intricate musical creations.

“Deggial” is one of the best Symphonic Metal albums of all time! A must listen for any symphonic metal enthusiast! “Deggial”, the ninth album by symphonic metal originators Therion, is set for reissue on deluxe CD via Hammerheart Records! The band had already more than made a name for themselves by the time the album was originally released in 2000, but despite their great success, stayed to true to themselves on “Deggial”. Nearly convinced to add a frontwoman to the band to coincide with mounting trends, founding member Christopher Johnsson stuck with his gut, instead incorporating long, complex compositions and choirs instead of soloists. The result was another best-seller of eclectic anthems. The tracks on “Deggial” are even more complex than the songs found on its predecessor, “Vovin”. Backed for the first time by a real symphonic orchestra and featuring 27 musicians recorded at Woodhouse Studio in Germany, this compositional masterpiece does more than prove the claim that Metal Hammer (UK) made in 2021 that “Deggial” was one of the best symphonic metal albums of all time! Even featuring guest vocalist Hansi Kürsch of Blind Guardian on “Flesh of the Gods”, after more than 20 years, the album hasn’t lost a single drop of its fascinating power. This is a must listen for any symphonic metal enthusiast!
