Therion release new music video for ‘Codex Gigas’

THERION have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Codex Gigas, is taken from the symphonic metal band’s brand new album, Leviathan II, which was released on Friday.

Speaking about the song, band mastermind Christofer Johnsson says, “one day I was thinking about epic doom metal and wondering if it is harder to write a ‘hit song’ in that genre, or if it’s harder in regular metal. I’m a huge fan of CANDLEMASS, and in my opinion, I haven’t heard any other band match their hit songs in the genre. So, I decided to try find out for myself how hard it is. Of course, I had to involve Thomas in the writing process, being an ex CANDLEMASS singer. The result was Codex Gigas, a CANDLEMASS-inspired THERION doom song. If it’s a hit or not will be up to the fans to judge.”
