Therion disbands, Christofer Johnsson remains

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Death metal bands turning into lame goth bands = gay.

Others guilty of such an atrocity:

Sentenced
Atrocity (ha)
Disgrace
Katatonia
Amorphis (to a degree)

...and probably many more.

In other words, I could give less of a shit if Therion broke up at this point.

The worst and weirdest thing is bands like Xysma becoming weird rock.

New Therion is terrible.

Not rly. The first and last albums are the two best imo

 

[The Ozzman]

Does Gothic Kabbalah go back to the death metal style?

 

[Mort Divine]

Nope.

Beyond Sanctorum is so good Why did they decide to suck after that!?

 

[The Ozzman]

Lemuria and Sirius B are good, you faggot

 

[supseudonymous]

Nope.

I guess it's the fate of many a good band.

Chris needs to get Matts back and bring the growls back, hopefully he will find some good musicians to bring the band back to life once more. In the meantime I hope Kristian starts a cool band, and writes albums like Lemuria and Sirius B type stuff. Funny how some people think Therion are gothic because their latest album is called Gothic Kabbalah.
With Therion you have to have a open mind like with for example Sigh, each album is different they progress better or for worse that is a personal decision.

 

[Mort Divine]

Sigh progressed into something good, Therion got shitty.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

I like the new Therion more than the new Sigh album.

 

[A1a23]

FUCK!

No, it sounds like a mix of Lemuria/Sirius B and Secret of the Runes. You'd like it, it's badass.

 

[Life Sucks]

Atrocity? Aside from the fun they had with the Werk 80 II stuff, Atlantis wasn't all gothy (except Cold Black Days).

Not goth, but still not good. IMO both Therion and Atrocity; only their death metal work is great.

I haven't listened to any of Therion's "sell-out" albums other than Theli. I thought it was pretty underwhelming, but not so bad. I'm interested in hearing Lemuria. Gonna get it in my next haul.

 

[Mort Divine]

I've got the double disc edition of Sirius B/Lemuria - seriously need to get rid of that (if I've not already lost it.)

It's a great album, don't listen to Mort.

Maybe he's referring to the fact that the members from Atrocity play with the chick from Theatre of Tragedy in Leaves Eyes. uke:

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Theli is probably their weakest album. I like the double album, Vovin, Deggial, and of course the first four albums best.

^^fail

Katatonia is neither goth nor lame, and Amorphis kick ass too

 

[The Ozzman]

Amorphis isn't goth

 

[Einherjar86]

Yeah, neither is Therion. Obscure just fucked up that post.
