10th album from 2004 by the Swedish THERION, one of the most innovative and influential bands in Symphonic Metal. Released simultaneously with “Sirius B”, “Lemuria” stands as one of the most ambitious works of Christofer Johnsson's career, taking the fusion of Metal, classical music and orchestral arrangements to new levels of sophistication and grandeur.
Recorded with a full orchestra, extensive choir arrangements and an impressive cast of guest vocalists, the album develops an epic and majestic atmosphere where elements of Symphonic Metal, Progressive Metal and classical music coexist with remarkable naturalness. Regarded by many fans as one of THERION's greatest masterpieces, “Lemuria” stands out for the richness of its compositions, its spectacular production and its immense artistic vision.
Recommended for fans of HAGGARD, EPICA, NIGHTWISH and AYREON. [Slipcase]
