It's funny you mentioned how the girl's voice matched the guy's so much, because she's his daughter! Also, the male singer (Thomas Vikstrom) is pretty much the only male metal vocalist that I know who can also do genuinely good operatic vocals. In fact, he used to sing in the Swedish opera back in the 1990s. If you want to hear that side of him, I suggest a song by Therion called Nothing But My Name, he sounds fantastic there! On a different note, it's really great to see more people checking out Therion. :) I think they're a very underrated band, at least in the TH-cam reactions community.
I had lucky enough to attend several Therion shows. Once they played an old song called Raven of dispersion with Linnea Vickström on lead vocal. You will blown your mind if you find her stage present 😂
Danm!! Therion the new "generation", you really must react to Therion with Lori Lewis and the most consistent line-up of the over 30 years Therion life, so many classics to choose from, here is Ginnungagap The singers are of course Lori Lewis then also Katarina Lilja and the male singers Snowy Shaw and Mats Léven th-cam.com/video/ox9Ikyyj5eQ/w-d-xo.html
These guys are full on Opera metal and are probably the ones who invented it. They have been doing this for over 20 years and have influenced a lot of gothic and theatrical metal bands with their sound. Their sound has changed slightly and the vocals aren't as full on straight Opera as the first few albums, believe me when I say that some songs it's extremely hard to understand what they are singing about because of the elongated wording and more vocalists on the first few albums. Great and creative band.
33 years, I spent the best concert ever (over 3 hours) at their 20 years tour! Tiny venue, amazing , and with Lori Lewis still, for an encore they played the entire Theli album
Thomas and Linnea(the girl with the pink hair) Vikström are father and daughter :D So funny you find them sound so alike. Sadly Linnea is no longer with the band, that girl had an amazing and crazy energy on stage. In this song she was in the background but if she goes...she really goes!!
The male vocal Thomas Vikström is also a professional opera singer like his father (Sven-Erik) was, and apart from operas, sings also in a lot of musicals (actually more in musicals). The lady in Pink hair is his daughter Linnea. Here is a link to an excerpt from a documentary where Thomas sings also classical. th-cam.com/video/tw5_jAuWvVY/w-d-xo.html
They are known for having many singers on stage, the first time I saw them was in a bar/concert venue. They toured with a choir even at this very modest place. Therion is quite a big deal to unpack, they had loads of cast changes. Some of my favorites from long ago: son of the sun th-cam.com/video/YqqZjCTvKXk/w-d-xo.html to mega therion (little pixelated video) th-cam.com/video/josOHKHWtNc/w-d-xo.html Lemuria th-cam.com/video/rsKRBvtUeww/w-d-xo.html the siren of the woods th-cam.com/video/NkTH3gA7f8Q/w-d-xo.html
Just discovered this band a few days ago. Now I am listening to all kinds of their stuff. Did not realize how long they have been around! I do wonder if they influenced Thuomas from Nightwish (my favorite band)
Vikstrom's pretty cool, but it's a shame this isn't one of the performances by the original vocalist of the song. Mats had some rock pipes back in his Therion days.
Therion is an awesome band with magnificente songs and great arrangement You should react to: -schwarzalbenheim (same wacken show) Another great performance by Therion: The miskolc experience (incredible show with classical themes and Therion's songs, besides the línea up is diferent with Matt levens and Lorie Lewis on vocals, Niehmann brothers on bass and guitar and Thomas Karlsson on drums) You should react to: The rise of sodom and gomorrah Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/FPYpKJlFq7Y/w-d-xo.html
Take a listen to Land of Canaan (studio version) if you want to hear wide range of Therion vocalists. Including the crazy Snowy Shaw. Then you will also hear Linnea (the girl you couldn't hear in this clip) sing solo at the end of the song as well. She was only a teenager at the time of that recording though.
Great reaction! I think the sound mix of this live recording is giving a litle low volume of all the the singers voices except for the female soprano. Thomas Vikström is a great singer with a vide range. His daughter (with pink hair) is a good singer with clear voice. At later time also the bass player use to fill up with backing vocals. I don't remember the name of the female soprano, but she's great to. This song was originally recorded with the singer Mats Levén and was using his special voice in a strong way.
I’m gonna be this guy - you gave everyone credit bar the guy in the shirt and vest - Christoffer, the mind behind all of this 😂 He’s responsible for this unique blend (sadly, he’s not Stravinsky and his opera attempt was an immense failure). Glad you enjoyed the song from their golden era (Deggial-Secret of the Runes-Lemuria/Sirius B-Gothic Kabbalah)! Amazing reaction as usual :)
Hello, please react to 'Edyta Górniak - To Nie Ja Live Top Trendy 2007' This is one of her greatest live performances. Maybe the quality is not the best but it's worth seeing, especially the second part.
Wacken's live videos and live mixes are hit and miss all the time...unless a band is recording and mixing their own stuff (like Nightwish for their live release Showtime Storytime)
Dude.... c'mon... THERION was another pillar for the Symphonic Metal music... their goldean years ended near at the 2000's... i think its better you react to them in Wacken 2001... Still the "real" Therion..... C'MON!!!!
Please react to Morrissette Amon Resignation Its a korean song by lee young-hoon but search it as morrissette amon resignation she sang it in three languages btw love all your videos
and please react to bts go go, anpanman, black swan, mic drop, and lastly on. That 5 if you cant it's ok cause many are busy but if you have time please react thank you
Well chuffed to see you cover Therion, excellent band and happy to have caught them at Wacken myself. Can I recommend you listen to Rhapsody (of Fire), particularly 'Magic of the Wizards Dream' which features Christopher Lee as quest vocalist th-cam.com/video/Z93SdirnzTw/w-d-xo.html .
Finally some vocal coach acknowledges Therion. The best Symphonic band in the world. Awesome music and top class singers (Past and present).

No way! That makes a lot of sense then! Such similar vocal recipes!
I'm glad you said it.
Fabio Lione also can do.

The best Therion lineup ever 😢

I absolutely shocked by Raven of dispersion in Linnea's interpretation. Therion always working with really great singers.
Therion! 💜 They deserve more video-reactions. Love you sus it! Great job, New suscriber here!

Therion is a one of a kind band - i always liked them through all their different incarnations over the years.
So little professional reactions for such a band as Therion:( I am enjoying this video, bravo for Therion reaction 👏

You should react to:
-schwarzalbenheim (same wacken show)
Another great performance by Therion:
The miskolc experience (incredible show with classical themes and Therion's songs, besides the línea up is diferent with Matt levens and Lorie Lewis on vocals, Niehmann brothers on bass and guitar and Thomas Karlsson on drums)
You should react to:
The rise of sodom and gomorrah

Been a fan of Therion since 1996. Enjoyed this breakdown a lot!
You need to do one from Live Gothic with Lori Lewis
You should listen Snowy Shaw, his participation in Therion was by far the best male singer they ever had!
Please check out Satellites by Periphery. One of the greatest vocal performances of all time in my opinion.
Take a listen to Land of Canaan (studio version) if you want to hear wide range of Therion vocalists. Including the crazy Snowy Shaw.
