Album Notes & Community Reviews
Functioning as a transitional pivot for the Swedish ensemble, 'Lepaca Kliffoth' sees Therion moving definitively away from their early, straightforward death metal roots. The incorporation of clean vocals, operatic choirs, and complex, mythology-driven lyrical themes laid the crucial groundwork for their pioneering role in the symphonic metal subgenre. It is widely regarded as the developmental blueprint for the band's subsequent, fully orchestrated masterpieces.
