THERION - Release Date Of New DVD Pushed To June For North America

THERION founder Christofer Johnsson has posted the following announcement regarding the band's forthcoming DVD, Celebrators Of Becoming, at the band's official website:

"The DVD will come out a bit later on the American continents. The release date for USA/Canada is now set to the 13th of June. In Latin America, the release dates will vary from country to country.

We're at the moment lacking of information of when a release in Japan will be, but we assume it will be the same as in USA and Canada.

The result of this is that the Therion Store cannot ship the pre-ordered DVD's in May as planned to customer that pre-ordered the NTSC version. It will be shipped so that it reach those customers in time for the 13th of June, or if copies arrive to Therion Store too late for that, it will be mailed out the same day we receive the copies. This goes for all who ordered the NTSC, no matter if the release date is later in your country.

We're sorry for the extra waiting time, but there's not much that can be done about it.

Please note that this only concerns the NTSC version of the DVD. The PAL version will be shipped as planned, the release date is still the 5:th of May in Europe."
