THERION’s Christofer Speaks About The Plot Of His Opera

Terry Bunch, December 28, 2017

15 years after the first spark of inspiration hit mastermind Christofer Johnsson, THERION can now finally present their monumental opera project, Beloved Antichrist. The staggering 3 CD album required many years of constant commitment and passion, which saw it grow to an incredible three hours of playing time, as well as a complex story with 27 different vocal roles. The three act opera will be released on February 9, 2018.
Today, the band presents their first trailer, in which band leader Christofer explains the storyline of his most grandiose work. Watch the trailer here: https://youtu.be/4rUNQ1SNDuw

In case you missed the first single, “Temple Of New Jerusalem”, from the second act of the opera, watch the lyric video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_E9PLcidgg

Beloved Antichrist is now available for pre-order: nblast.de/BelovedAntichrist
