Therion Empty
PostSubject: Therion   Therion EmptyThu Aug 06, 2009 10:23 pm
I thought I'd start a thread about Therion, the band that pioneered the symphonic metal genre. Theyve gone from death metal to symphonic metal of many kinds over the last 20 years. Their lyrics are mainly written about mythology.

A Sample:

While they arent my favourite band they have some good songs and as the inventors of symphonic metal I feel they should have a thread. So, opinions, thoughts, comments?

I've heard most of their stuff and I much prefer their earlier albums like from "Of Darkness..." to "Theli".

after that they just become way too straight symphonic and it loses my interest.

"Beyond Sanctorum" is probably my favorite
