Background information about 'Con Orquesta'

Swedish symphonic metal legends Therion have delivered something truly extraordinary with "Con Orquesta" – a monumental live recording that captures their historic return to orchestral performances after 17 years. This isn't just another live album; it's a symphonic metal event that showcases why Therion remains the undisputed pioneer of the genre. Recorded at Mexico City Arena in front of 11,000 ecstatic fans, this performance with the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de México represents a creative renaissance for Christofer Johnsson's visionary project.

What makes "Con Orquesta" absolutely captivating is the fresh approach to orchestral arrangements. Unlike their previous classical collaborations, this recording features authentic Mexican interpretations of Therion's catalog, with renowned local composers creating new arrangements that breathe fresh life into beloved tracks. From the crushing power of "The Blood of Kingu" and "To Mega Therion" to the haunting beauty of "The Birth of Venus Illegitima" and "Lemuria", every moment sparkles with orchestral grandeur. The inclusion of rare covers like Marie Laforêt's "Mon Amour mon Ami" and the epic "Draconian Trilogy" demonstrates Therion's genre-defying artistry at its absolute peak.

For fans of:
Symphony X, Nightwish, Epica, Haggard, Rhapsody of Fire
