9th album from 2001 by the Swedish THERION, one of the most innovative and influential bands in Symphonic Metal. “Secret of the Runes” is a concept album inspired by Norse mythology and the Nine Worlds of Scandinavian cosmology, showcasing the band as it further refined and consolidated its distinctive symphonic style.
Combining Metal, classical music, operatic choirs and orchestral arrangements with remarkable skill, the album develops an epic, mystical and majestic atmosphere that perfectly complements its theme. Thanks to its refined songwriting, rich musical textures and artistic ambition, “Secret of the Runes” is widely regarded as one of the most inspired and representative releases of THERION's classic era.
Recommended for fans of HAGGARD, EPICA, NIGHTWISH and AYREON. [Slipcase]
