"To Mega Therion" is Greek for "The Great Beast" and was a title used by occultist Aleister Crowley.

<i>Lepaca Kliffoth</i> 1995 studio album by Therion

Lepaca Kliffoth is the fourth full-length studio release by Swedish heavy metal band Therion. The title refers to the Qliphoth.

Symphonic metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that combines the heavy drums and guitars of metal with different elements of orchestral classical music, such as symphonic instruments, choirs and sometimes a full orchestra, or just keyboard orchestration.
