Hi everybody.
Sad news for Therion fans: while Therion is still in the hands of Chris Johnsson, the Niemann brothers and Petter Karlsson have left the band. Here's the official announcement from Johnsson on the official Therion website:
Dear Fans,
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, our selves 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 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.
Christofer, Kristian, Johan and Petter.
I'm pretty shocked, but I trust Johnsson to find new awesome members for his amazing project. I'm very glad I got to see this lineup at its peak last August, along with Opeth the best show I've been to.
Farewell and good luck to the quitting members and good luck to Chris with all of his future endeavors with Therion.
