Changes to the Tour
Thursday - 26th August 2010The tour schedule has changed: The shows in Caracas (Venezuela), Chihuahua and Puebla (both Mexico) have to be cancelled and the show in Santiago de Chile has moved to the Teatro Caupolican. In Europe there will be an additional show - on the 11th of December Therion will play in Istanbul, at Refresh the Venue (which is really named like that).
The following message is from Christofer: "We are very sad to announce that the shows in Chihuahua and Puebla in Mexico have been cancelled. The situation with the drug cartels is becoming worse and worse in the north and the local authorities strongly advise against playing concerts in Chihuahua (and of course Monterray which also has been rumoured we would be playing), so the national promoter in Mexico has decided to cancel Chihuahua as the safety of the band, crew and fans cannot be guaranteed at this point. The Puebla festival has also been cancelled due to some sort of drug cartel related civil unrest problems.
There seems to be no risk for the remaining shows in Mexico and the band hope that there will be other shows to replace the cancelled ones in other parts of the country.
Seems like the world is going crazy at the moment, as the Caracas show in Venezuela will be cancelled as well. Local promoter is having economic problems and didn't want to risk fucking everything up from what I've heard. So better to cancel and try to replace it with another show in some other country than to risk standing there with thousands of fans buying tickets and maybe making a long journey from another city just to end up with no show happening. We hope we will be able to do Venezuela some time in the future, we were really looking forward to playing there."
Snowy rejoins Therion
Wednesday - 25th August 2010Snowy rejoins Therion and will perform on the upcoming tour, as Christofer announces: "We are very happy to announce that Snowy has rejoined Therion. We welcomed him back with open arms, and we will now be making a mix between the new show we had planned, and the last one which involved Snowy. We think the merger between the two concepts will be incredible, and we look forward to taking the band's live performance to the next level."
Change of venue in Moscow
Wednesday - 25th August 2010The show in Moscow on the 5th of December 2010 will take place in the Arena Moscow Club.
First reviews of Sitra Ahra
Thursday - 19th August 2010The first reviews of Sitra Ahra are appearing as the release date is coming closer. Less than one month to go to the 17th September when the album will hit the stores! Many of you are wondering what the new release will sound like. These first reviews sound very promising. Looks like the band did it again!
These reviews also tell something about how the album sounds. According to the first one we found it has a wide variety of musical styles and moods and blends everything from operatic vocals through aural sounds and folkish music to a headbanging blast, to name just a few. But see for yourselves!
New venues in Mexico
Saturday - 24th July 2010There are two changes about the venues in Mexico.
1. The show in Chihuahua on the 16th of October takes place in the Arena Chihuahua.
2. With the show on the 17th of October Therion are headlining the Hell & Heaven Metal Fest in Guadalajara. This festival has three stages; Therion will have a whole stage all for themselves.
So this show takes place in the venue Calle 2 - Agora in Guadalajara.
The tour section will be updated soon.
