I double-check their discography, and sure as rain, Leviathan II is no less than Therion’s 18th full-length studio album. You will not find anything truly new here, but it is greatly more varied than its predecessor, and probably the band’s most memorable album in over a decade.

They specifically planned a trilogy.

It comes to show how little I follow them nowadays.

For a strange reason this sounds much better than their last album. More like what I would expect from Therion in 2022.
Pleasant surprise!

Well I thought the previous album wasn't that good tbh, but unfortunately I'm finding this one not much better, for me it's just too soft and sounds very flat and uninspiring

When you listen it time to time, not a to z, it goes well, but then again they sounds as they sounds last 10-15 years

Pretty solid Therion album. Surprisingly enough - it sounds like Therion...
