Just curious how this would pan out, although I have an idea. I chose to separate Lemuria and Sirius B, plus included the live albums obviously.

The candidates:

Deggial

Secret of the Runes

Live in Midgard

Lemuria

Sirius B

Gothic Kabbalah

Live Gothic

The Miskolc Experience

 

[Iron_Dreamer]

Gothic Kabbalah is the one I end up going back to.

I went with Secret of the Runes, but to be honest, I have been on and off with this band for years. I have to give them more listening time.

Close call, but I went with Deggial. Lemuria/Sirius B comes second. Deggial holds a special place because it's the first Therion album I heard, and from there I explored the rest of their discography.

 

[Jubei]

Went with Secret Of The Runes.

I have most of the albums listed apart from Deggial ... Lemuria and Sirius B comes a close second though.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm bit surprised that there is only four votes in a day. I know Therion isn't The Beatles, still I wouldn't consider them an obscure band or anything.

 

[ecclesand]

I voted Deggial...definitely.

If you wanted more replies you need to ask this topic at Ultimate Metal forum, cause this forum has a good number of metalheads but it's not like they dominate the forum, or that all of them have years of experience with metal.

What do you mean by "of the Noughts"? I can't say I am a big fan of their post-Vovin albums, Theli and Vovin are still my favorite albums from them, but if I ranked all the studio albums in your list it'll go:

Lemuria (best)
Secret of the Runes
Sirius B


Deggial
The Miskolc Experience
Gothic Kabbalah (worst)

It's not easy to choose between Lemuria and Secret of the Runes, both are solid albums, but it's very easy to choose Gothic Kabbalah as the worst album they have ever done.

I would have to say Lemuria/Sirius B.

Those were the first two albums I listened to of theirs.

Six years ago, a friend (who is now my wife) tried very hard to get me into metal, and while I was interested in it musically, I didn't really grok it for the longest time. Secret of the Runes was the first metal album I truly enjoyed without any caveats, and they are without doubt to blame for the fact that I am now an unabashed metalhead. Since SOTR, I feel they've only gotten stronger, and Gothic Kabbalah is IMO the best album of the 00's by any artist.

Very much looking forward to their forthcoming album this spring! \m/

Wow, she's a keeper. Therion has bestowed great fortune upon many people.

 

[asmox]

Secret of the Runes for me.

Wow, great find! I wish I could get my woman interested in metal.
