Event: Therion, Latin American Tour 2004


This concert was Therion's last stage in Mexico for their tour of 2004.

Well when I arrived like at 6:40 pm at Salon Arena in the historical center of the city.... downtown. And what I saw was a whole bunch of people selling all kinds of stuff, Therion t-shirts, sweaters, caps even cups posters and stuff. There was not many people there at the time.. but soon the whole mass arrived. And then Therion!!!! we had our first chance to see them before they entered the salon to prepare.

A really cool surprise was 15 minutes later when Kristian Niemman (lead guitar) got out of the Salon and started hanging out with the people... many people talked to him and he gave some signatures and some pics.. I my self had the chance to take me a pic with the man. ( I'll post all pics later on when they are ready)
After Niemman left we all stayed in line for like two hours shouting and tired in the afternoon rain cause they did not let us in the Salon. But when we were finally in I hurried to get in the front part of the stage to get a closer look.

And finally Therion came in to stage!!! the whole place was trembling with our shouts.. THERION!!! THERION!!! as all the band took their positions and started rocking the place with Blood of Kingu, then Ulthark Runa, then Asgard, then Typhon, and well, I dont remember the order of the rest of the songs.. I remember the songs though... we slamed the place while they played Melez, Ginugagap, Flesh of Gods, Cults of the Shadow, Seven Secrets of the Sphinx, Crowning of Atlantis, The Wild Hunt, Rise of Sodom and Gomorrah, In rememberance and many others, we all singed along with our fires up while they played Siren of the Woods. We shouted hard and loud as they played Quetzalcoatl, our song. Finally they closed with To Mega Therion, at that moment we were so loud that we made more noise than the band as we shouted "The World Will Burn!!!! By Sorath's Flame!!!" and we shouted and screamed as we slamed againts each other and raised our hands, screaming.

And then all the band came in front of the stage to greet us but we wanted more and shouted for another song. Then Chris came in to stage and thanked us.. then their manager came to tell us that it was all over. So we cursed that freak manager.. (although it was not his fault) and screamed CULERO!!!! CULERO!!! [[[[[[ For anyone who understands.
Then Therion left as we all did afterwards... and the 3000 or more people who came.. slowly vanished in the night, across the streets of Morelia, and it was all done.... Cheers... and I'll ad pics later
