2017-12-20 - For 15 years THERION's leader, Christofer Johnsson, was haunted by the desire to compose an opera and turn his vision of the opus »Beloved Antichrist« into reality. After long lengths of time involving much commitment, dedication and passion, the project - which includes over three hours of playing time and 27 different vocal roles - was completed and will finally be released on February 9, 2018.
Today the band unveils their first single, the impressive chapter 'Temple Of New Jerusalem' from the second act of the opera. Watch the lyric video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_E9PLcidgg

Currently, THERION are working on the possibility of bringing the entire production to the stage. And while this monumental undertaking still simmers away in the production halls, the band has announced a pan-European tour taking them to 25 (!) different countries, where they will perform some new and some classic THERION hits.
