Nuclear Blast Records has set a May 22 release date for "The Miskolc Experience", the new CD/DVD from Swedish progressive/experimental metallers Therion. The set's description reads as follows: "After the phenomenal last studio album 'Gothic Kabbalah' (2007), Therion mastermind and founding member Christofer Johnsson decided to go for a rather special project: the band's appearance at the renowned International Opera Festival in Miskolc, Hungary in 2007 was taped on.
The first part — 'Classical Adventures' — features some of Christofer's favourite composers (especially his all-time fave, Wagner) and does completely without guitars or any metal instrumentation whatsoever. Just orchestra and choir. Part two, 'Therion Songs', delivers exactly that: finest Therionmaterial performed by the band, a huge orchestra and choir.''The Miskolc Experience' is the testimony of the brilliant Johnsson/ Niemann/ Niemann/ Karlsson Therion lineup which Christofer Johnsson decided to dissolve in late 2008. This chapter of Therion is closed, a new era is about to begin — and Therion will soon open the book once again!"
