|||||||||||||
Therion is a Swedish symphonic metal band founded by Christofer Johnsson in 1987. Its name was inspired by the Celtic Frost album 'To Mega Therion'. "To Mega Therion" is Greek for "The Great Beast" and was a title used by occultist Aleister Crowley. Originally a death metal band, Therion adjusted its musical style by adding orchestral elements, including choirs, classical musicians, and even a full orchestra at their concert performances. As a result, they are considered pioneers of the symphonic metal genre. Therion takes its themes for the lyrics from different mythologies and practices, including occultism, magic and ancient traditions and writings. |

'Leviathan' is the seventeenth studio album by Therion. It is the first part in the Leviathan trilogy, with its sequels 'Leviathan II' and 'Leviathan III' released on 2022 and 2023 respectively. Guitarist Christofer Johnsson has described the Leviathan trilogy as deliberately drawing influence from the most popular and beloved elements of their back catalog, with Leviathan I being bombastic and catchy. |

'Leviathan II' is the eighteenth studio album by Therion. It is a follow-up to the first 'Leviathan' (2021) album, and is part 2 in the Leviathan trilogy. According to guitarist Christofer Johnsson, this second part of the trilogy attempts aimed towards a "more moody and melancholic" sound, that rekindles the "mystic, melancholic aura" of their groundbreaking work 'Vovin' (1998). |
