THERION is a Swedish symphonic metal band from Stockholm, formed in 1988 by Christofer Johnsson. Beginning as a death metal act, they underwent a dramatic transformation in the mid-1990s, pioneering the use of operatic vocals, full orchestras, and choirs in a metal context. Albums such as "Theli", "Vovin", and the "Lemuria"/"Sirius B" double release solidified their status as architects of the symphonic metal genre.
