The wait is finally over! 15 years after band leader Christofer Johnsson first considered writing an opera, THERION's monumental life achievement is finally released.

Beloved Antichrist is a three-hour-long opera, conceived for the stage, and is loosely based on the Russian novel "Short Tale of the Antichrist", which was brought to life with the help of 27 different vocal roles.

The 3-CD-album with a running time of over three hours is officially available and can be ordered here: https://nblast.de/BelovedAntichrist

In addition, the band unveils the fourth and last trailer, in which Christofer Johnsson speaks about the stage performance that he envisions and the different options he sees for his larger than life project.

THERION has embarked on a pan-European tour, which is taking them to 25 different countries, where they will perform both new and classic hits.
