Swedish symphonic metal troop, Therion, is set to kick-off a European headline tour in January 2016. On this run the band will be playing a very special, best of set list. Support will come from occult rockers Luciferian Light Orchestra, Mongolian nomadic metallers Ego Fall, and last but not least from Russia, symphonic metal force Imperial Age.

Band leader Christofer Johnsson commented about the upcoming tour: “We asked the fans on FB about what they wanted to hear. Hundreds of people voted and in the end we got a result - people wanted to hear classic, particularly from Secret Of The Runes, Vovin and Theli, so we are putting an extra focus on those. They also wanted to hear odd and rare songs that we have never played live before, so there will be a bunch of those as well as some songs we haven’t performed more than just once or twice, or not in a long, long time.“
