Song Review // 2021-12-31
Therion
Leviathon
Eye of Agol
I think this is preferred over other songs I heard from this band so far.
Vocals
This vocal reminded me so much of one I heard in another band, that I thought it was Christina Scabbia.
I am not a fan of the male and female vocals working with each other. I particularly don't like the male vocal. For me it sounds like the cheesy parts in an adventure movie. At about 3:45 is the worst!
It is hard to make out the words, so I am thankful there are lyrics available.
Music
It is pretty straightforward for this style. A few parts mix it up a bit, but nothing hugely unexpected.
Lyrics
These words seem to be talking about a constellation that some have considered bad luck or evil. But this song makes it sound like it is a treasure.
Algol, your eye
Gorgon of Perseus
The demon star
ראש השטן אתה
Through you I see
To fathom and receive
Heights of the sun
The depth of moonlight
