THERION: 'Sitra Ahra' Video Contest Winner Announced
October 12, 2010The THERION video contest for the track "Sitra Ahra" is now over — and THERION mastermind Christofer Johnsson has picked a lucky winner. His name is Fredrik Mattson, and he's from Sweden. The lucky man won a meet-and-greet with the band plus a massive voucher for the Nuclear Blast shop.
Commented Johnsson: "It was really cool to watch these clips and in the end we had a vote in the band to choose a clip as the winner. The winner had the best storyline as well as the best special effects, so it was an easy choice, even though we really liked a lot in the other clips as well. The flipped out stuff is very THERION-ish indeed!"
