THERION 'BELOVED ANTICHRIST' DETAILS ARE HERE
12th December 2017
Therion will finally release Christofer Johnsson's monumental brainchild, 'Beloved Antichrist', on February 2nd and we can now reveal the tracklisting and cover artwork.
'Beloved Antichrist' is a sweeping rock opera loosely inspired by Vladímir Soloviov's 'A Short Tale Of The Antichrist'. The entire piece reaches an impressive length of three hours and the dramatic opus comes to life through twenty-seven different character roles, performed by long-time band members like Thomas Vikström, Lori Lewis and Chiara Malvestiti, amongst many others.
The band will unveil the first excerpt from 'Beloved Antichrist' in single form before Christmas.
Therion are currently working on the possibility of bringing the entire production to the stage. While this monumental undertaking still simmers away in the Swedish production halls, the band have announced a pan-European tour including UK dates, where they will perform some of their new masterpieces live in a classical concert setting.
Support comes from Russia's Imperial Age, Germany's Null Positiv and New York symphonic Metallers Midnight Eternal.
Don't miss this new milestone in the history of symphonic Metal and witness this dramatic staging of the apocalypse and all those brave, sinister and fascinating characters heading towards the end of it all.
