THERION

5th album from 1996 by the Swedish THERION, one of the most innovative and influential bands in the history of European Metal. “Theli” was a truly revolutionary release within the 1990s Metal scene, marking the birth of the sound that would later become known as Symphonic Metal and completely transforming the band's artistic identity.

Almost entirely abandoning the Death Metal roots of its early releases, THERION embraced an ambitious fusion of Metal, classical music, operatic choirs and orchestral arrangements that was groundbreaking for its time. Widely regarded as a pioneering masterpiece and one of the most influential recordings in Symphonic Metal history, “Theli” remains a landmark album that redefined the creative boundaries of the genre.

Recommended for fans of HAGGARD, CELTIC FROST, NIGHTWISH and EPICA.
