9th album from 2001 by the Swedish THERION, one of the most innovative and influential bands in Symphonic Metal. “Secret of the Runes” is a concept album inspired by Norse mythology and the Nine Worlds of Scandinavian cosmology, showcasing the band as it further refined and consolidated its distinctive symphonic style.
Combining Metal, classical music, operatic choirs and orchestral arrangements with remarkable skill, the album develops an epic, mystical and majestic atmosphere that perfectly complements its theme. Thanks to its refined songwriting, rich musical textures and artistic ambition, “Secret of the Runes” is widely regarded as one of the most inspired and representative releases of THERION's classic era.

11th album from 2004 by the Swedish THERION, one of the most innovative and influential bands in Symphonic Metal. Released simultaneously with “Lemuria”, “Sirius B” showcases the darker, heavier and more complex side of that ambitious double project, developing a sound where classical and symphonic influences coexist with a stronger presence of Metal riffs and Progressive structures.
Featuring an impressive combination of orchestral arrangements, choirs, multiple vocal styles and meticulous production, the album delivers an epic and immersive experience that further expands the band's creative boundaries. Regarded by many fans as the perfect counterpart to “Lemuria”, “Sirius B” stands as another artistic peak from THERION's most inspired period.

3rd album from 1993 by the Swedish THERION, one of the most innovative bands to emerge from the European Death Metal scene. “Symphony Masses: Ho Drakon Ho Megas” marked a significant turning point in the band's evolution, moving partially away from traditional Death Metal by incorporating industrial influences, keyboards, atmospheric elements and a strong esoteric and occult lyrical focus.
Without completely abandoning its extreme roots, the album develops a far more experimental and distinctive approach than its predecessors, anticipating many of the ideas THERION would explore in greater depth on later releases. A bold and forward-thinking work that occupies a crucial place in the band's artistic evolution.

5th album from 1996 by the Swedish THERION, one of the most innovative and influential bands in the history of European Metal. “Theli” was a truly revolutionary release within the 1990s Metal scene, marking the birth of the sound that would later become known as Symphonic Metal and completely transforming the band's artistic identity.
Almost entirely abandoning the Death Metal roots of its early releases, THERION embraced an ambitious fusion of Metal, classical music, operatic choirs and orchestral arrangements that was groundbreaking for its time. Widely regarded as a pioneering masterpiece and one of the most influential recordings in Symphonic Metal history, “Theli” remains a landmark album that redefined the creative boundaries of the genre.

6th album from 1998 by the Swedish THERION, one of the most innovative and influential bands in Symphonic Metal. “Vovin” marked the definitive consolidation of the groundbreaking approach introduced on “Theli”, refining and expanding the fusion of Metal, classical music, operatic choirs and orchestral arrangements with an even greater level of sophistication and maturity.
With a spectacular production and particularly inspired songwriting, the album develops a majestic, mystical and deeply epic atmosphere that established THERION as one of the undisputed leaders of Symphonic Metal. Regarded by many fans as one of the band's masterpieces, “Vovin” represents one of the most brilliant and significant moments of its long and distinguished career.
