4th album from 1995 by the Swedish THERION, one of the most innovative and influential bands to emerge from the European extreme Metal scene. “Lepaca Kliffoth” represents a crucial turning point in the band's evolution, showcasing its transition from Death Metal roots toward a far more ambitious, atmospheric and experimental sound that would lay the foundations for its future identity.
Combining Death Metal with symphonic elements, choral arrangements and strong classical music influences, the album develops a unique and highly distinctive approach that was far ahead of its time. Its avant-garde spirit and willingness to break traditional Metal boundaries often recall the pioneering vision of CELTIC FROST's “Into the Pandemonium”. A key release in THERION's discography that anticipated the emergence of modern Symphonic Metal and further established Christofer Johnsson as one of the most creative minds in European Metal.

Debut album from 1991 by the Swedish THERION and one of the standout releases of the first generation of Scandinavian Death Metal. “Of Darkness...” finds Christofer Johnsson's band at its most extreme and straightforward, delivering a dark and crushing Death Metal assault deeply rooted in the classic Swedish sound of the early 1990s.
With heavy riffs, sinister atmospheres and relentless aggression, the album has become a genuine classic of Swedish Death Metal. Although THERION would later achieve worldwide recognition through its symphonic and experimental evolution, “Of Darkness...” remains an outstanding document of the band's brutal origins and an essential piece of early European Death Metal.
Recommended for fans of ENTOMBED, NIHILIST, GRAVE and UNLEASHED.
