THERION - Vovin (CD) 1998

Vovin это второй альбом Therion названный в честь могучего мистического существа - дракона. Записан в немецкой Woodhouse Studios (Moonspell, Therion) с басистом Jan Kazda ударником Wolf Simon и при участии Сары Джезабель Девы из Cradle of Filth, Covenant и Mартины Хорнбахер из Dreams Of Sanity, а также хора Wupperthal Opera House Choir и оркестра Indigo Orchestra. В лирике альбома отражён весь духовный опыт, который Christofer почерпнул принимая участие в Ложе Красного Дракона. "Lepaca Kliffoth и Theli открыли новые пространства звука, а Vovin сделал Therion безраздельным владыкой этих земель. Vovin это краеугольный камень... который, похоже, стал философским камнем Кристофера, обращающим музыку в золото." писал Robert Muller (Hammer) в марте 1998 года. Вскоре "Vovin" достиг в немецком top 100 album charts 46 позиции...
