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 a reality. After a long period of 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 main man Christofer explains the plot behind the opera in the band’s first album trailer. Pre-order Beloved Antichrist in a variety of formats, here THERION are currently 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.
