Therion - 'Twilight Of The Gods' (official music video)

In three they passed as Fimbulwinter
No summer born in between
Garm! Helgrind!
Garm! Helgrind!

In times of brother killing brother
Came war and famine to be

Seas had found mountains crumbling down
The sun was soon devoured
Fenris on the loose would swallow the moon
The Midgård serpent entered

Into the twilight of the gods
The whole of Yggdrasil was shaking
As man would march close to hel
Garm! Helgrind!
Garm! Helgrind!

From Muspelheim to splinter heaven
Arrive did Surt with his sword

Time for war of what was before
Heard the horn of Heimdal
Folkvang opened up
All warriors sought to storm out from Valhalla

The sloaps of Vigrid the final ground
Thor, Odin met their fate as they all fell

Into the twilight of the gods
Into the twilight of the gods
The gods

Fire and darkness! The world went under!

As all returned into Ginnungagap
There on the plains of Idavallen far
Gods that remained saw Nidhugg still alive
Livtrånad, liv new era had arrived

Στις αρχές του 2021 κυκλοφόρησε ο 17ος "ολοκληρωμένος" στουντιακός δίσκος των Therion υπό τον τίτλο "Leviathan". Ήταν το πρώτο μέρος μίας τριλογίας, η οποία συνεχίσθηκε πέρυσι με την κυκλοφορία του δεύτερου μέρος ("Leviathan II") και σειρά παίρνει το τρίτο ("Leviathan III") στα μέσα του πρώτου χειμερινού μήνα. Το έδαφος προετοιμάζει το μουσικό βίντεο του επιλογικού τραγουδιού "Twilight Of The Gods"...

Δελτίο τύπου: «A perfect collision of Metal and Classical Music! Swedish symphonic metal legends Therion have unveiled the first single, “Twilight of the Gods”, off of their upcoming album, Leviathan III, out December 15, 2023 via Napalm Records!

With the new album, Therion return to deliver another masterpiece - fulfilling the Leviathan trilogy. With more than 35 years under their belts, the band around mastermind Christofer Johnsson is considered one of the most style-defining acts of symphonic metal.

Down to the present day, Johnsson claims Swiss Celtic Frost and their way to combine opera vocals and orchestral instruments in the late 80s as one of his main influences back in the days, leading to Therion’s Symphony Masses (1993) and Lepaca Kliffoth (1995) to set the stages for the genre in the early 90s, followed by symphonic metal milestone Theli in 1996.

“Twilight of the Gods” delivers the finest of epic and symphonic metal, finding a harmonious and balanced blend between guitars, choirs and orchestra. Join Therion on their versatile and style-melding musical journey, and watch the brand-new official music video for “Twilight of the Gods” below!»
