Therion

Theli 1996

8 Epic Prog Metal
added by Mike
"Classic heavy metal with opera singing, "Theli" is probably the album that started the symphonic metal genre. "The Siren Of The Woods" is one in my top 10 favorites songs of all time." (PowerWyrm, , )
"This is above all a BOMBASTIC mixture of doom metal and classical opera. Their best album imho." (Soul Dreamer, , )
Review by Mike published
Aggressive Gothic Prog Power Metal

"My apologies to all Therion fans out there - I don't mean to be rude. But there are so many albums out there that are simple one or two magnitudes better than this. Still, you have to give them some credits for being the first band to combine classical music and metal ... theoretically Malmsteen was first by inventing neoclassical metal, but Therion go one step further and introduce operatic vocals, choirs and orchestral instrumentation (sparsely and simulated by keyboards/synthesizers, but it's there)."
