I saw Leprous playing as support for Ihsahn a few months back – they’re also his backing band, and I have to say I much preferred them when they were playing with Ihsahn rather than by themselves. They pulled off Thus Spake the Nightspirit really well – as close as I’ll ever get to seeing Emperor live, I guess.

Therion are playing Bloodstock next year, along with Rhapsody of Fire… Will this be the year that finally gets you to Bloodstock? You’d be welcome to camp with my mates and me :)

The video of Therion playing the (awesome) Russian national anthem in Moscow is one of my favourite things on YouTube, even though I’m not so fond of the band itself:

Given your comments about choral/classical music I’d suggest you get ‘The Miskolc Experience’ – a cd/dvd of Therion doing a mix of classical music & their own stuff with orchestra & choir. It’s great :)

As a roleplayer the other advantage of Therion is that the main writer is probably a cultist & so this is music to raise Great C’thulhu to ;)
