Therion

Swedish symphonic metal band from Stockholm (Upplands Väsby), Sweden, founded by Christofer Johnsson in 1987/1988. During the early years band's sound was very much death metal oriented, but soon developed into more complex and symphonic direction. For more than three decades now, Therion have been refining their superlative skills in combing metal with orchestral/classical music elements. The band can easily master ripping metal riffs, epic operatic vibes, symphonic element and complex multi-layered choirs all within complex and flowing compositions.
