Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Beloved Antichrist' is a sprawling, maximalist three-disc rock opera by the Swedish symphonic metal band Therion. The highly ambitious concept album is loosely based on Vladimir Solovyov's 'A Short Tale of the Antichrist'. It features an enormous cast of multiple vocalists spanning 46 epic, orchestrally driven tracks, cementing it as one of the band's most massive undertakings.
