Therion issue update on singers condition

THERION mastermind Christofer Johnsson has issued the following update:

"Snowy Shaw is currently really ill with a throat [infection] - so bad that he barely can speak, so unfortunately he won't be able to do the Rock Hartz [Open Air] Festival in Germany on Friday. [Lead vocalist] Thomas Vikström will be able to do his parts and THERION have also made some adjustments to the set list (big surprise for everyone actually, as we will be playing something quite unexpected!)."

THERION recently revealed the artwork to their new album, Sitra Ahra, on their homepage. Mixed by Lennart Östlund (Led Zeppelin, ABBA) at the legendary Polar Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, the new album will be released later this year.
