Beloved Antichrist

Beloved Antichrist

Metal operas arenâ€™t as unusual as they once were and the idea will forever have a new meaning after the release Therionâ€™s â€œBeloved Antichristâ€ on Feb 2, 2018. Comprised of 3 discs, an orchestra, an enormous choir, 29 different vocalists, roles & characters, and 46 songs with a run time of over three and a half hours, â€œBeloved Antichristâ€ has been a 30+ year journey for Therion mastermind Christofer Johnsson. Inspired by the story, â€œA Short Tale of the Antichristâ€ by Russian philosopher Vladimir Soloviov, â€œBeloved Antichristâ€ took on a life of its own. â€œCertain scenes are more or less exactly from the book, but most scenes have no connection with it at all. It is simply the main idea of the antichrist character that is very much based on the book,â€ explains Johnsson. â€œWe have taken a great story and modernized and perfected it into a great new story that could make it worthwhile for a very broad audience.â€
