Therion: Nalley back, Katarina Lilja leaves

I thought it was a funny, personal note that was a refreshing change from the standard press release. I wish more bands would be this honest.

Yep, I thought it was a really cool, funny change of pace from the usual FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE stuff.
This topic came up at the CoF show last night -- I think I sold a few tickets for PPUSA there :) -- and I was able to soften the blow for two of her fans by essentially quoting the tone of C.J.'s announcement.
 
Do you realize that English is not his native tongue?

That is exactly what I was thinking...

... but I LOVED the introduction of B.R.L.W.B.A.R. into the lexicon. You know... describing my life after I realized in 1988 that I just wasn't that talented. That showed much better command of English than I have of... any other language you can name.

Replacment for Kat announced:


We are hereby proud to announce the person who will be filling the infernal shoes of Kat (the Evil One) for the upcoming Therion tour activities. It will be no less than Linnea Vikström, the daughter of Thomas. She sang on Sitra Ahra and enchanted many listeners with her charming and diverse presence. From being the cute little spawn of Thomas, she has now been growing to a woman and she is ready to help us carry the flag of Therion around the world.



However, as Linnea is unable to do the first 3 festivals in June, Thomas asked a good friend of several members in the band to help out for these shows. She is mostly known under the moniker Thess. In these days, she's more known for being an upcoming swedish comedian/actress, with a unique almost raw humor as specialty. But she originally comes from the musical scene which she will revive the memories of for a few days doing these festivals. She will ensure the transition from your worship of Kat to the New Breed of Divine Vikströmian offspring will go smooth and give those fortunate to be there an inner collectors item memory.
