Cool! Although I rather hoped this news will be about a new album, not a live recording.

Quote:
After the phenomenal last studio album "Gothic Kabbalah" (2007), easily Therion's most stunning effort since "Theli"

Lol. Just lol. Nuclear Blast people are high, really. I can't take this press release seriously if it starts like this.

Yes, would be interesting to see !

Wow, very cool, first Epica and now This

I will buy this.

They are always nice at live performace I sould buy this.

I must collect this DVD

Looks cool, I'll buy it too.

Oh man, when I see the name Therion in the News part of the web my heart starts to beat very fast hehehe. This is great, Now I'll wait for this and the one that Epica is going to release. Still waiting for a new studio album

Excellent, I can´t wait for this!

The album cover is awesome. So is the band Therion. This DVD seems great.

This sounds really interesting, Normally I don´t buy many dvds but this one seems really appealing...

Sounds like what Epica have just done, who's next to use an orchestra?

Metal bands using an orchestra is becoming more and more common, indeed. I usually see it as a bad sign because metal albums that are heavy on orchestration are usually lacking in the guitars and drums department. I like keyboards in metal but I'm not a big fan of over-the-top bombastic stuff. Just write great guitar riffs and solos, good bass lines and impressive drumming, top it with great vocals, and you don't need an orchestra. Bands that use an orchestra are often mediocre in the metal department. I sometimes have the feeling some bands use an orchestra to compensate for their poor ability on their instruments or to try to hide their not impressive playing skills.

Very wonderful news

I must have this DVD!!! :o:o:o

Great! but we want a new album

TO MEGA THERION !!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL BE WAITING FOR YOUR NEW RECORD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Epica recoreded their show at the Miskolc International Opera Festival in 2008, a year after Therion did the same thing at the same festival in 2007, so Therion actually did it first...just took longer to release it.

Not that I am saying Epica is copying Therion. I'm just saying that they were both guests at the same festival and were invited to do a very similar thing. Judging from what I have heard both pulled their performances off masterfully, and I look forward to hearing releases from both bands

Yeah definitely gotta get this! I follow Therion since their first demo!!! and every new release is like a new ecstatic experience!!
here is the first ever photo of Therion

Is Clavicula Nox not an original Therion song or something?

Therion its my favourite band ever but.. i think that they should put a better setlist for their "symphonic experiments"..

In their 2 symphonic gigs they focus A LOT on the orchestral work, and their sound quality and feeling is missed in various songs... besides the camera angles doesn't have different angles to focus on the band members

Maybe using a two/ three days recording and leaving the classical themes as a bonus

I know that its a very hard and expensive thing, but ITS THERION.. The inventors of the Symphonic Metal and they were with THEIR BEST LINEUP ever.. ( Niemans Brothers, Karlson, Leven, Lewis, Shaw, Lilja... )

If Metallica, Rhapsody and Within Temptation can.. Why Therion can't?
