86.Therion - Gothic Kabbalah
This double disc release shows Therion changing yet again. A bit less aggressive and symphonic than what Therion fans are probably used to. In fact I'd almost hesitate to even call it a metal album of any sort. However, I'd honestly consider this one of their finer moments and definitely the easiest point of entry for new listeners.
More accessible than typical Therion in some ways, but still not quite really accessible. The whole album is very polished and smooth sounding from beginning to end with lots of variance in style and structure. From the rather pop-esque Der Mitternachtslöwe to the melodic power metal inspired Chain Of Minerva to the over the top epic closer Adulruna Rediviva this album manages to be one of the most surprisingly diverse albums of 07.
