Therion mastermind Christopher Johnsson was recently interviewed by Greek Rock Overdose and confirmed that their European 25th Anniversary Tour will be their last tour for many years.

Christopher Johnsson explains that the band won't be taking a break but rather focus on a Therion rock opera, instead of thinking about a regular album. This is going to take a while hence the tour holiday. You can read the full interview here.

Dutch venue "Effenaar" where Therion will kick off their European 25th Anniversary tour also posted the same news about the band: "After 25 years, the band Therion has decided to start a different journey. Therion main man and founder Christofer Johnson has announced that there will be no more regular album releases and no more regular tours for many years. The band will perform at festivals from time to time, but apart from that they will focus on different band projects."

"The first project is an art project celebrating the 25th anniversary of the band. The project involves a self released CD that will be entitled Les Fleurs Du Mal, which will be sold at the band's concerts during the Flowers of Evil tour in Europe. The record will later be licensed and distributed to record stores. At this point, nobody knows how the album sounds, as they are not sending out any promotional copies to the press until the first concert."

"At each show of the Flowers of Evil tour, Christofer Johnsson has also announced that he will be spending several hours meeting with the fans, dedicating CD's, making photos, and just hanging out to talk with people. After this project has ended, the band has said they will be working on a rock opera, a huge project that will take several years to realise."
