Therion about the Russian novel that sparked Christofer's inspiration

On February 9th, THERION can finally unveil their monumental opera project, »Beloved Antichrist«, presenting a complex story with 27 different vocal roles and a playing time of over three hours! Today, the band launches their second album trailer, in which band leader Christofer Johnsson explains why he chose Vladimir Soloviev's "Short Tale Of The Antichrist" as initial inspiration for his story and how his own plot differs from the one in the philosophical Russian novel.
