Therion theli album


Theli is an album released by the symphonic metal band Therion. While Theli stays true to the band's roots in that it has a very dark sound, it is a major turning point in their history. Set, Egyptian god, is shown on the front cover. This was the last album on which Christofer Johnsson sang, and the final album to include any death growls until their brief appearance on 2004's "Lemuria". A music video was filmed for the song "To Mega Therion".
