THERION - Shares Second Single And Lyric Video From Forthcoming Full-Length

Swedish legendary symphonic metal act Therion has shared the second single/lyric video, "Ruler Of Tamag", from its forthcoming full-length, Leviathan III, set for release on 15 December via Napalm Records.

"Ruler Of Tamag", a more than worthy continuation of the musical legacy of mastermind Christofer Johnsson, who pioneered symphonic metal back in the 90s, enchants with a gentle acoustic guitar intro and lingering female vocals, opening up to a fairytale-like scenario of old times, that then bursts into a heavy track with gloomy parts that build up to a fascinating score-like symphony.

Christofer Johnsson on the new single: "The song was written by me and Thomas Vikström and it has a lot of Middle Eastern influences in the music. Lyrically it deals with the ruler of the Underworld in the Turkic mythology called Erlik. Parts of the song is in Turkish language. I collaborated with Soner Canözer from the now defunct Turkish symphonic metal band Almora for the translation/rewriting of the Turkish parts of the lyrics. The video is a lyric video and it was done by Carlos Toro from Abysmo Films that did our video clips the past 13 years".
