The Wondrous World of the Beast

Lori Lewis (Therion)
Artist: Antalgia (ES), Elyose (FR), Therion (S)
Venue: Club 202, Fehérvári út 202,  Budapest
Time: October 17, 2012 - 7.00 pm

Therion is one of those bands to whose existence I owe thanks and much more. Knowing their music helped me make some of the most important steps, especially when it comes to music being such a huge part of my life. Had it not been for them, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be here right now, writing this or doing anything else related to it for that matter.









I've already done a short report on this concert, which should be published sometime over the weekend at KronosMortus.com (in English and Hungarian), so I will only post a few highlights here, plus the photos, of course. So, stay tuned. :)

Elyose

Antalgia


I have to say that I prefered Therion's opening bands from the last few tours. They were more suited to my liking, especially Leprous and Sabaton, at the time quite unknown. This year, however, they decided to go with something more symphonic. Antalgia and Elyose stepped in. They are two quite young bands from Spain and France, respectively, fronted by lovely ladies of metal. They were quite good on the stage, and it was obvious that they were enjoying themselves, just as their fans were.








Therion, on the other hand, completely stunned the whole audience; those that have seen them live before, as well as those new to their music. They played a set of 21 song, never ceasing to amaze us. Although they did have much stage setting, their show was more than just playing music. It was a dramatic performance. You cannot describe a Therion experience, so I'll let the photos give you an idea. Here are a few, for more check out the galleries - links below.
