Content Introduction Therion, one of the leading bands representing Sweden, a metal powerhouse. The final installment of the 'Leviathan' trilogy, based on the concept of "making what the fans want," is finally complete! The symphonic metal that only they can create, with female vocals and death growls intertwining, is intense! Therion, one of the leading bands representing Sweden, a metal powerhouse. Formed in 1987 around guitarist and vocalist Kristoffer J?nsson, they made their album debut in 1991 with 'Of Darkness?c'. At that time, they played heavy death metal, but afterwards they boldly introduced orchestration and choirs. They developed their own unique symphonic metal and succeeded in appealing to a very large audience. Among them, their 5th album 'Theli' (1996), which features a heavy chorus by a choir of more than 10 people, is a landmark work of symphonic metal. The 'Leviathan' trilogy is what they have been releasing since 2021. Following last year's second installment, Therion's final album, 'Leviathan III', has finally been unveiled. While Therion has always explored new territory, with the 'Leviathan' series, they prioritized what the fans wanted over their own artistic desires?a kind of challenge. This album is packed with symphonic metal that only Therion could create, with death growls and female vocals intertwining. It's exactly what the fans have been waiting for. A masterpiece that should definitely be listened to by a wide range of people, from extreme metal fans to traditional metal fans! One of the first bands to introduce orchestras and choirs to death metal. Its foundation is reminiscent of Randy Rhoads, making it recommended for fans of 80s orthodox metal as well. The final chapter of the Leviathan trilogy that lives up to fans' expectations! This work embodies Therion in its own unique way. While continuing from the previous two works, it has evolved theatrically!
