Therion - Ex-King Diamond Drummer Snowy Shaw Joins As New Vocalist


Snowy Shaw, ex-drummer of King Diamond, Mercyful Fate and Dream Evil, has joined Therion as new vocalist. According to his official website he will share vocal duties with Mats Leven, which means he'll most likely take over harsh vocals, which were given up by band leader Christofer Johnsson earlier this year. More details to follow.

Hopefully he's a good vocalist, and does a bit of the harsh vocals, otherwise they'll never be able to play songs like Typhon again which would suck so hopefully he's alright \m/

Yeah, he's good. Drummer and, um, harsh-singing vocalist. Good news for Therion fans I guess...

I hope he's a good vocalist, he at least has to make a good replacement for Christopher's vocals.

I never really like Christophers voice, so I hope it gets better.
