Therion - Nightside of Eden POEASE!! My favourite and universally accepted as their best song by majority. This song is so gothic and beautiful

This song has a good performance in Budapest Live 2007

The thing i like about Therion is that the structures of their songs are so original and completely deviating to everything else i know, it's unique in every way. Next to or better yet, on top of that, the subjects they choose are old history subjects which requires some afterthought. Like Mesopotamien, Biblical or other old historical facts. I'm totally in for that 🙂. This song is really magical. The lyrics are very mystical and need some good research to understand the lot of it. As i understand it is about 12th century "Hashashins" (assassins) living in Persia and they are refering to a man called Hasan Sabbah (The old man from the mountain) and he was leader of a group of killers. In order to become a member of this order the men had to go through some rituals. In the first stage they had to smoke Hasish (hence the name) and for the second step they had to drink menstrual blood (The wine of Aluqah). The lyrics aren't that long but say it all: Drink the Wine of Aluqah and breathe the secret smoke of God. Intoxicated by the green shadows of the Paradise. Know that nothing's true and that everything is Permitted. So read the Old Man of the Mountain in his Book of Lies. The Nectar Of Aluqah will run down my dreams. The spring of this paradise hide deep inside unknown unconscious streams The song is from the Vovin album from 1998 and you bet that you should listen to that, it's incredible LINK: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYCqlmOemdtrj5I

The uniqueness in THERION always surprise you, he. All songs different, as you have seen... Well, you just started the journey, so much more to go. Suggest for the next one "Land of Canaan", to listen to Therion playing not a song, but a masterpiece (no good version live for this one, suggest the audio). Cheers

Now we have start with Therion, please PLEASE REACT to Wand of Abaris, from that concert, make yourself a favor and react to that song. I promise, Snowy Shaw (the tall blonde singer) as the lead singer will blow your mind. He is a singer in a million I promise. Wand of Abaris: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d16XhGd3aLxpeMU&ab_channel=ErwinBosma That song, "Thor" and "der mitternachtslöwe" is the reason why the 2007 vocal line of Therion is their best one for me.

I agree 100%. The Best! ❤❤❤

[@BabylonZeus]

OH yes !!! This is another huge face of Therion!

[@TwoTonTaft]

Jesus, you're throwing me back to high school here. The end of the 90's was a great time

[@TwoTonTaft]

This might have been the band that got me into gothy/power metal actually

[@Karldin83]

Seriously, you should look into into Snowy Shaw. Dude has played drums for everything from Sabaton to Therion to King Diamond!

[@metalka_]

I don't know if you've already reacted, but I recommend it The Blood Of Kingu, Thor (the powerhead), An Arrow From The Sun and Sun Of The Sun from the same concert. It's phenomenal. 😁

[@Lobogo311]

hi, this event is best concert in metal history (for me) 😬😬😬

[@TheMarcodiator]

I saw them live about 10 times. Every time, an awesome show. And they always bring some bands with them to open that are always a pleasant surprise.
