I first listened to Therion sometime between 1996 and 1998. Their albums Theli and Vovin were (in fact still are) among my favourite albums ever. I think especially Theli is very mystical, and some raw and repetitive compositional aspects of the album even enhance its impact and mystifying air. I'd say the album reflects a nubilous grandeur, and its imperfections add to the value and authenticity of it.
My second favourite Therion album is Vovin, it is also a very impressive album. More dramatic and emotional than Theli; also a better musicianship is displayed throughout. With a more potent choir and orchestra, and a far more refined approach; both musically and sound wise. I like Deggial a lot too, albeit not everything of it. It generally has a grandiose atmosphere, coupled with a glamorous and enthralling soul. Nevertheless, it doesn't flow perfectly and I don't think the electric guitar utilization is, through and through, a decent fit. My last favourite album of them is Gothic Kabbalah. A standout album in their discography. Oddly beautiful and charming. They're gonna release their new album: Leviathan, soon. I liked the first single off of it. (Linked below.) The female vocals are excellent and the song is decent. I'm eager to hear the whole album. Any comments? Edited by Shadowyzard - December 20 2020 at 02:40 |

Theli is my favorite, a unique sound when it came out.
Post Lemuria Therion is predictable already and less and less interesting. I will only listen to it just out of curiosity. Therion started as a death metal band and although this genre is very hit and miss with me, I like those albums. Back in the day they were always trying something new, aiming for originality I guess. |

Between Theli and Vovin, go with Theli, but both are essential and their best for sure

Leviathan is out. My initial feeling was disappointment, but with multiple listens I thought it is a 7/10 album.
