Therion - Abraxas

[stanger963]

UNDERRATED!!

[dgbelcher]

@tuptamdre Nothing else to say, you have summed Therion up perfectly.

[piiarelei]

Did Thomas Vikström scream in this song?

[volkolova]

@piiarelei no....he is Mats Leven...when recording with Therion Lemuria/Sirius B, 8 years ago......... T.V is in Therion from Sitra Arha

[FBBblackwater]

Singer has such a beautiful voice, I enjoyed listening to it...

I like rythm, and that is very good song, Therion deserves much more attention.

[vash4501]

My favorite song from the album.

[CelestialNihil]

EPICCCC SCREAAM @ 2:10

[edgardavidmartinezga]

Hey, Somebody knows if the composition of this song has anything to do with Hesse's "Demian"?

[iluan666]

@edgardavidmartinezga

I can almost ashure you it is. I've just finished reading the book and there are parts of the song that match almost perfectly with the text of the book (although read it in german and maybe the english translation is a bit diferent)

[Leoptxr]

At 0:16 theme of "Mars, The God of War" by Gustav Holst. Not complaining, it's good to see the classical music influence nowadays, wish it could break some prejudices about classical music.

Loved the song btw

[Arianrhodcastle]

« L'uccello lotta per uscire dall'uovo. L'uovo è il mondo. Per nascere devi distruggere un mondo. L'uccello vola a Dio. Il nome del Dio è Abraxas. »

(Hermann Hesse, Demian)

[ThePhpcip]

Therion is not just music. It is music to the untrained eye... But it is symbols ! "The world is ruled by symbols !"

[ThePhpcip]

@mickburke15 Just because it is known as a God and other entities in the greek mythology, that doesn't make "it" a demon. The truth about Abraxas is that not many of us know the truth about Abraxas. It is also known to represent "the main cause for everything", the main archetype for all things... So, there are many symbols and there is much history and mythology that tells much truth about our true origins, that is not yet discovered by anyone.

Darkness and the light

Sermones ad Mortuos!

Empty Fullness

Your World is a ryddle to be solved!

[pcorallinus]

@MrJAOV46 pode cre

[xXvolhvXx]

@mickburke15 Abraxas is 365.

[ATLNatius]

@mickburke15 Abraxas never has been related with "666" and diabolical forms/ideas by the true believers in he. He represents the good and evil, the equilibrium between freedom and duty, and the mark of Cain isn't "666". Bye.

[piltogg]

ALL HAIL THE LIGHT OF ABRAXAS!!!!!

[TheIMPERATOR101]

great music :-)

[TheFrostchild]

@tuptamdre no its just eargasmic

[vox1664]

Therion, YOU rock !!

[snuffereet]

Great song, kind of like a sequel to Mark Of Cain, as the verses are similar in the music.

[Illnath9]

we need a new god called ABRAXAS!

[supmayne1]

Haha wtf is this genre called? I might be the only thrasher who likes this!

[NandKcommentaries]

@supmayne1 symphonic metal

[Triichize]

This call forth old memories. I really love their wonderful music ... Shame on me who have forgotten

[CrazyMetaller95]

I love the album Lemuria...

Lemuria and Deggial are my favorite albums

[albertnightwish]

Eargasm!!!

[dantedelavega]

Inspired by Herman Heese, "Demian"

[Cruxorder]

@dantedelavega of course ! i love christopher johnson. the song " mark of Cain " doesnt leave any doubt

[manio22]

awesome,Therion FTW!

[emanuelszabo27]

Therion is awesome

[EnragedSephiroth]

2:07 "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYEYEYEEYEY­EEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOYEEEA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" - Mats Leven

[emanuelszabo27]

so musical

[Karorazu]

I love this song... Abraxas was the God of the Sun according to some ancient cultures.

[TheDisfigured]

@tuptamdre you could ask the song to be good.

[Loz8900]

Lol you know when you're a nerd when you recognize these guys songs' names from video games. Abraxas is a planet in Xenosaga, Lemuria is a planet in Star Ocean, Quetzalcotl is a GF in FF8 (yes i know it's also the mayan god thing too), among other things lol.

[130VOLT]

@Loz8900 haha the first thing i thought of when i saw Abraxas was TRON: Evolution

[Loz8900]

@130VOLT Oh yeah, and that too lol.

[IIPhoenixMTA]

this song is beautiful

[Rofaso3]

wooooooooooooooo genial !!!

[VoidBeyondTheRift]

@tuptamdre I think if it got super heavy at random points it would be better, thats all its missing- it seems to be on the precipice of extreme moshing but never gets to it

[rasmfer]

@VoidBeyondTheRift hahahah...esta bueno tu nick hahahaha ;P

[therionml]

ez igen ez zene fantastikus

[SparkShredder]

this is the kind of band that makes u go, 'im proud of heavy metal.' \m/

[ethoismenos]

NO MATS NO PARTY NOW!!!!

[Sixchomp]

@ethoismenos If you listen closely to the song's bridge, it's Mats doing the scream.

[sentinela666]

musica de nuestras tierras :)

[salvador8702]

my fav part :"you bear the mark of cain" THERION FOREVER!!

[Fetichenath]

Esta Canciòn Es Fenomenal :D :D :D

[ComunidadVessanica]

buen album!;)

Salud!! 

[Chentauren]

YEAAH!!!

[scarlethangel]

Is this the same Mats Leven who worked with Yngwie Malmsteen on some albums?

[boroladecadence]

@scarlethangel the same :)

[rafjuven]

excelent video

[asmodaiastaroth]

@tuptamdre

definitely, NO.

gez.

asmodaiastaroth

thanks for your comment that hite the needle into the skin ::)

[AORMETALGORE]

Its good, but I prefer their Gothic Kabbalah album over this.Those melodies, hooks, refrains, chorures and arrangements seems more fully realized.

[benitezanimado]

verga esta verga.

[jeromdpmetal]

cayate vos guacho

[dare751]

this fight shall not be over as long as me and you remain...we shall form together as one and banish the darkness from our heart and bring light from above

[todosvayanseala]

....I guess.....Anna-Maria Krawe.....n´ the other is Mats Leven...(¿why did you goooooooo?)......

[F3YR3]

Thanks, pretty unknown singer then.

[scarlethangel]

@todosvayanseala

Isn't it Lori Lewis?

It kinda sounds like her...

[F3YR3]

Does anyone know who the singer is? She has a beautiful voice, and a lovely accent.

[todosvayanseala]

....a great masterpirce........HAIL THERION.....

[TheHolyWizard]

Although not my birth name...my 2nd (or magickal/alt) name is Abraxas.

And many people refer to me as that....and I forgot about this song until I saw it on the related video list...and I was like "oh, there's my name" XD

I love this song...and this whole album's mystical essence. It is very spiritual metal...

I.A.O.

Abraxas

[claushard]

i general therion death metal yoga a cada dia me surpreendo mais com o som do therion i love 4ever

[Griefshire16]

for me their best is gothic kabbalah

[MentalSelfMutilation]

Can somebody tell me what this song is about?

[MentalSelfMutilation]

Stanovnik kindly replied with:

"This song is about freeing oneself from a lower human nature and realizing your true potential through radical inner transformation. Basicly, it's about becoming something much greater."

Stanovnki got me back to this video and interested in this song/band & enlightened me, so why did his/her comment get removed? Thank goodness at least I got to read the song-interpretation!

[trpleshps]

jojojoo severoooooo

[oluas85]

for me VOVIN and LEMURIA are the best albuns, the other albuns are not so good as those two!

[Irongates55]

their best album , clearly!

[neuraxianfusion]

I disagree. Beyond Sanctorum is clearly their best.

[krzych083]

Yes! Beyond Sanctorum and Vovin are the best albums.
