THERION Mainman CHRISTOFER JOHNSSON Parts Ways With Bandmates

[DoomsdayZach]

Anyone want to join with me?

Heh... kinda...

 

[OrbWeaver]

As long as Christopher is continuing with Therion, I'm happy. He's the man behind the music, after all. And without him, there is no Therion. I do wish the other guys the best of luck with their own music projects, though. They're all fantastic musicians and I expect they will do great things.

I wonder just how successful Therion(as a vehicle) has been in spreading these Dragon Rouge beliefs.

"Help me, Jesus! Help me, Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft to get the fire off me!"

 

[Perditions Ghost]

"Help me, Jesus! Help me, Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft to get the fire off me!"

 

[Jibrille]

Phew, when I first read that I thought HE was leaving Therion. This scenario isn't that much better but infinitely better than him leaving.

I don't really mind just as long as CJ continues under the Therion name. I'm sure the next Therion CD will be as good or better than GK was.

Swedish metallers THERION have issued the following update:

"Today we have an announcement that will come as a shock to all of you. The four permanent members of the band have had some discussions and it is clear that we have different goals and visions for the future. Therefore it is best for the band, ourselves as individuals and for the fans that we go separate ways now when there is still plenty of time before the next THERION album and world tour. This means that Christofer [Johnsson, THERION mainman] will continue with THERION and the others will perform their music in other projects and bands.

"We're all still friends, no one is disappointed and there's still some work we have left to do together in terms of editing of materials we have recorded for future DVD's.

"Best regards to all of you and thank you so much for the wonderful support you have given the band during the time we have played together."
