Beyond Sanctorum

by Therion

Beyond Sanctorum cover art

The Swedish band's second album begins hinting at their future symphonic grandeur while remaining firmly entrenched in aggressive, occult-themed death metal. Christofer Johnsson notably experiments with clean vocals, Persian scales, and synthesizer atmospheres, injecting a distinctly progressive ambition into the established Scandinavian sound.
