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.

9th album from 2024 by this Swedish Death Metal project led by the tireless Rogga Johansson, one of the most prolific musicians in the Scandinavian extreme Metal scene. Released two years after "Born to Be Dead", the album continues REVOLTING's impressive run of releases, remaining fully committed to the primitive and dark Death Metal traditions of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Its sound combines the heaviness of classic Swedish Death Metal with influences from the more morbid and rotten side of American Death Metal, driven by crushing riffs, dark melodies, sick atmospheres and a strong supernatural horror theme. Direct, aggressive and deeply old school in spirit, the album once again showcases Rogga Johansson's remarkable ability to capture the essence of the genre's classic era while retaining freshness and impact.

With a spectacular production and a distinctly cinematic approach, the album pushes even further the formula established on releases such as “Theli” and “Vovin”, delivering epic compositions, grandiose atmospheres and extraordinary musical richness. Regarded by many fans as one of THERION's masterpieces, “Deggial” firmly established the band as one of the definitive references of Symphonic Metal.
