@@anwerso You're right, of course Haggard it's symphonic metal, in my opinion the most symphonic metal band with Therion (in terms that the symphonic part is much more important to the song than, for instance, in Nightwish, and I love Nightwish). It's just that the symphonic parts are different, Therion and Haggard are more like classic music, while Nightwish is more like a movie soundtrack, and Epica is between the 2 sides (classic and soundtrack)... By the way, another amazing symphonic band nobody knows is Penumbra. I suggest all of you to listen to theis albums "Seclusion" and "The last bewitchment"; absolute masterpices (gothic symphonic metal)...
Therion were the pioneers of orchestra thing in Metal. I cant say if they were the very 1st to do those massive collaborations in heavy genre but surely they influenced the field we have now.
Yeah, THERION, best band in the world! All symphonic metal comes from them... Hope you react to more songs... "To Megatherion", "Via Nocturna", "Abraxas", "Blood of Kingu", "Adulruna Rediviva", "Land of Canaan" (just some few examples)... Best metal soprano, Lori Lewis, and best guitar player in symphonic metal, Kristian Niemann... And, of course, best composer, Mr. Christopher Johnson... Greetings from Spain...
They are all caught up in Floor (which IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!) and all ignore Therion! Therion ARE absolutely AMAZING with everything they did. If you did not listen to Therion your life was useless. PERIOD.
THIS is the song that got me into symphonic metal.. My bf's mom was listening to this when she was making lunch and I wanted to know EVERYTHING about Therion. I was 17 years old and in awe with her music taste. :))
I don't believe it !!! Finally the pioneer Therion. Christopher Johnson is the father of symphonic bands. There was no other band doing that and the inspiration was Celtic Forst. There was not even the experimentalism of The Third and Mortal. Other symphonic bands are Haggard (the second best band of the genre), Rhapsody and Thy Majesty (both from Italy). Massive orchestra because Christopher's writing style is based on Richard Wagner and without a doubt Wagner was an egolatra. That's why it sounds so pretentious ... and wonderful. Most symphonic bands prefer the baroque and Nightwish prefers move score.
I remember buying Theli in my early teens on pure chance and having my brains implode. When Vovin was released I waited outside the record store to get my hands on a copy. Not enough reaction channels dive into Therion which always confused me considering how many are into Nightwish and how the Nightwish army moves around like a swarm of locust (in a positive way 🙂). A good percentage of them should be into Therion?
Like a lot of people have said Therion was the pioneer of symphonic metal and is interesting to note that Christopher Johnson was a big fan of classical and Wagner and if you dig up Wagner operas you can see how metal that guy was (the composition, the storytelling, how "heavy" some of it sounds) so someone was going to link up the two together sooner or later.
I have seen hundreds of bands live, but the best concert was the 20 y anniversary of Therion, at almost 3 h long , and they played the complete Theli album to finish , the best memories
Anything from the Live Gothic show is fire. In my opinion, it is the best Therion show with the best line-up of the band. Ginnungagap or Son of the staves of time are particularly good in that show^
OMFG.... THERION!!!.... Guys, before Nightwish it was Therion... one of the simphonic metal pilars. React to them live at Wacken 2001 (golden age).
Haggard worth to mention too.
@@anwerso I agree... HAGGARD are soooo good!...
Yeah... They r great but newer than Nightwish and they are not symphonic metal
@@map7049 First LP came same year. Early Haggard was more death metal, but later is definitely symphonic metal. Well at least for me.

Also the song Ljusalfheim!!! Underrated masterpiece.
Clavicula nox, Lemuria, Siren of the woids, Ruler of Tamag.....

Wow, the kids did it. Thanks! You need to listen to anything from the Wacken 2001 concert. You've opened a door now...

Lemuria - Gothic Live
Waiting for more Therion.
Therion, very nice 👏👏👏
Finally Therion, but that version is not good, try with To Mega Therion from the Live Gothic show, that was amazing
Lori Lewis is one of the best singers in the metal scene for sure!
I love the Vovin album ❤️ You need to react to Muse Live 👌🏻 Knights of Cydonia

Therion created symphonic metal check out to mega therion I believe you will like it
Great choice, too bad the sound mixing was a little of. Check out my favorite Therion song: To Mega Therion. 😉
You should do to react eternal return in the same concert
Miskolc, Hungary. Hungary is my homeland. 😁🇭🇺❤️
He is funny...
Anything from the Live Gothic show is fire. In my opinion, it is the best Therion show with the best line-up of the band. Ginnungagap or Son of the staves of time are particularly good in that show^
react to eye of shiva
Sweden. USA we get Bieber and DJ $$$$
the guitar sound is too loud the mix of this version is not so good unfortunately
Therion was way better in their death metal days in the early 90s.
Wacken one is better
