2022 re-issue on oxblood and black splatter vinyl with lyricsheet. Limited 250 copies

Therion was formed in Upplands Vasby (a suburb to Stockholm,Sweden) in 1987 by Christofer Johnsson, under the name Blitzkrieg.Christofer was at that time playing the bass and vocals. Theline-up consisted beside him: Peter Hansson on guitar and OskarForss on drums. Peter and Chris had been jamming together inanother group (a jam-group rather than a band would be correct tosay) earlier that year and Chris had been trying to put somethingtogether with various people earlier, before Blitzkrieg finallybecame a reality. Oskar was an old school mate of his. Blitzkrieghad influences such as old records by Slayer and Metallica, butsounded maybe more in the direction of Venom and Motorhead. Notmany know, as they never recorded any demos and only did 2 concertsbefore they decided to break up in early 1988. Chris however nevergave up the idea and during a few months he switched to guitar,started to be influenced by bands like Celtic Frost and reformedthe band with Peter under the name MegaTherion. After a while,Oskar returned to the band and there they were, but with a new nameand a new death metal oriented sound. After some time they foundthe bass player Erik Gustafsson (Dismember) whom can be heard onthe first recordings. Shortly after the name was changed toTherion. With this line-up the band recorded 2 demos (the first onehad the later Dismember singer Matti Karki on vocals in a shortattempt where Chris wanted to focus on the guitar), one mini-LP‘Time Shall Tell’ and one full length LP/CD ‘Of Darkness’, thatwould make the band known as one of the most promising upcomingdeath metal underground bands. The vinyl release Time Shall Tellwas released by a local record store in 1,000 copies. This wasactually the third demo recording that got released as a recordinstead of cassette. This includes some fast, complex and creativegrinding death metal for all fans of the early Therion material
