THERION: REVEAL ART WORK AND TRACK LISTING FOR "BELOVED ANTICHRIST"

Swedish symphonic metal warriors THERION have revealed the art work and track listing for the bands anticipated new release  "BELOVED ANTICHRIST", due to be unleashed 2/9/2018 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.












THERION unleashed "LES EPAVES" (EP), 1/2016 via ADULRUNA and "LES FLEURS DU MAL", 9/28/2012 via END OF THE LIGHT.




FROM THERION:
On February 2nd, symphonic metal pioneers Therion will finally release Christofer Johnsson's monumental brainchild, Beloved Antichrist, a sweeping rock opera loosely inspired by Vladímir Soloviov’s "A Short Tale Of The Antichrist". The entire piece reaches an impressive length of 3 hours. The dramatic and epic opus comes to life through 27 different character roles, performed by long-time band members like Thomas Vikström, Lori Lewis and Chiara Malvestiti, amongst many others.
The band will unveil the first excerpt from Beloved Antichrist in single form before Christmas – and today, they present the cover artwork designed by Thomas Ewerhart, as well as the tracklisting:
