Therion - Les Fleurs du Mal (End of the Light)

In number 14, we have the latest, to date full-length album of Therion who have since been put on a mini-hiatus to prepare a grandiose operatic album, while still occasionally hitting the road for a live or two. This is an endeavour unlike what Therion have produced ever before, as it contains exclusively covers of old songs from the 60s interpreted through the distorted lens of the very talented Mr Johnsson.  There is abundant talent here as the membership of the band has remained relatively unchanged from Sitra Ahraagain Johnsson here joined by Thomas Vikstrom of Candlemass fame, who also lend his voice in the previous Therion album (Sitra Ahra), the soprano Lori Lewis and Nalle PĂ„hlsson (bass), Johan Koleberg (drums) and |Christian Vidal (lead guitrars). If you are a fan of old "golden age" pop songs and Therion, look no further! This one is for you!
