With the new album, Therion return to deliver another masterpiece - fulfilling the Leviathan trilogy. With more than 35 years under their belts, the band around mastermind Christofer Johnsson is considered one of the most style-defining acts of symphonic metal. Down to the present day, Johnsson claims Swiss Celtic Frost and their way to combine opera vocals and orchestral instruments in the late 80s as one of his main influences back in the days, leading to Therion's 'Symphony Masses' (1993) and 'Lepaca Kliffoth' (1995) to set the stages for the genre in the early 90s, followed by symphonic metal milestone 'Theli' in 1996.
'Twilight of the Gods' delivers the finest of epic and symphonic metal, finding a harmonious and balanced blend between guitars, choirs and orchestra.
Join Therion on their versatile and style-melding musical journey, and watch the brand-new official music video for 'Twilight of the Gods'.
