Therion lemuria full album
Lemuria is the eleventh full-length musical album by symphonic metal band Therion. The album title refers to the name of a supposed sunken continent Lemuria, much like Atlantis. It was released simultaneously with Sirius B. Cover artwork was made by Thomas Ewerhard. This album also features the return of Johnsson's death growl in several of its tracks, marking the band's first use of this vocal style in nearly a decade.
