(n.) The pioneers of symphonic metal Started in the late '80s as a death metal band from Sweden. They experimented with symphonies and choirs in the early '90s in their songs with fantastic results that they created the first death metal album heavily influenced with symphonies/choirs, the album is called "Theli" and anyone who has appreciation with music should buy it as soon as they get a chance. Therion is made up of 4 Swedes: a drummer, bass guitarist, and 2 guitarists; they hire choirs & opera singers for studio and live performances. They are extremely talented, the band members and their singers/choirs, and the great thing about them is that they don't shove their skill right into your face 24/7 (see Dragonforce). Their lyrics are usually about the occult; the singing are trade-offs between a person using deathgrunts, fast-singing choir, and other voices. If you like listening to bands like Nightwish & Dimmu Borgir, you'll love Therion. "Theli" and "Secret of the Runes" are must buys.
