THERION – Speak about the intense writing process & motivation behind the opera

 

On February 9th, symphonic metal pioneers THERION will finally release their three-hour-long opera project Beloved Antichrist. After unveiling the opera’s plot, characters and the differences to the Russian novel it is loosely based upon, band leader Christofer Johnssonnow discusses the intense writing process of this massive composition and what he always liked – but also disliked – about classical operas and modern musicals.
