Là, j’arrive au stade où je suis devenu indifférent à l'idée qu'il va y avoir un nouvel album...
Therion rejoint le cimetière des éléphants.

I’ve got two news for you. A good and a bad one. Which one do you want to hear first?

Ok, so the bad news is that Leviathan release has been pushed to Jan 22 next year.

The good news is we are very confident you’re going to be very pleased with the album.
For all those years we always tried something new and after Beloved Antichrist I felt very empty. What to do now?? I did everything I wanted and there was nothing left to do. No more mountains to climb. But then one day I talked to Thomas on the phone and we thought ”Hey, there IS actually one thing Therion never did! Therion never tried to write a ”hit album” or do a ”classic Therion” album where we actually try to give people what they’re asking for”.
Before Beloved Antichrist I could never write music on command. I’d write whatever I write spontaneously. But when writing a rock musical, I had to force my self to write in a certain style to make music that fit with each scene. So it could be a challenge to see if we could use the same skills to catch the essence of our most popular songs.

As people often tend to misunderstand information on internet, I should maybe clarify that what I’m talking about is NOT to try to write a ”new Vovin” or a ”Rise of Sodom part 2” or something like that. It’s rather to try to figure out what it is people like about the most popular songs and then write new songs that carry a similar essence (and ”essence” is not the same thing like trying to copy the same chords or melodies).

Judging from reactions from the few people that have heard the record so far, it seems like we have managed to create a new Therion classic.
