THERION: No New Album Before 2010

December 7, 2007

THERION mainman Christofer Johnsson has issued the following update:

"Today the 20-year anniversary tour starts where we will perform the entire 'Theli' album. We therefore have printed a lot of 'Theli'-related merchandise plus some other old designs from the 'Lemuria'/'Sirius B' era that we never ended up using using back then. Some designs will be available also through THERION Store after the tour, others may be if there's a remaining stock, if not they will be unique for the tour. We'll also offer super deals on some remaining stock from the last tour as long as it lasts.

"Apart from that we have built a special stage for this event and prepared a special show to ensure you to get the best THERION show you've ever seen. So be there or be sorry!

"There will be a DVD recorded from the tour. However, due to DVD releases of the classical show in Hungary last year and the show we recorded in Poland in January, a DVD from the tour we're doing now will be put in the vaults for quite some time, not to flood our potential buyers with products. We're making a new album in 2009 and will release it and tour on it in 2010, so earliest would be to sync that, if the record label prefer it to be in a time with no other releases, then we'll push it to 2011."

THERION's latest studio album, the dual-disc "Gothic Kaballah", was released in North America on February 6 via Nuclear Blast Records.

THERION earlier in the year announced the departure of vocalist Mats Levén (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, KRUX, TREAT, AT VANCE),which took effect prior to the band's appearance at this year's Wacken Open Air festival in early August. His replacement in the group is Thomas Vikström, who is best known to metal fans as the voice behind CANDLEMASS' "Chapter VI" album (1992).
