Green vinyl with cardboard slipcase and insert. Limited 111 numbered copies

This is one of the rarer Therion items out there, but it is worth seeking out because it does contain a song that can’t be found anywhere else. The edit version of the track Siren Of The Woods is still over eight minutes long and it has a few keyboard bits here and there as well. When combined with mystical lyrics in an ancient language and its easy to see that the song has become a favourite from the album Theli. And hearing a slightly different version on this release makes for a nice change of pace. The second track is another of the standouts from Theli, Cults Of The Shadow. This is released here in an edit version but less noticeably than the title track. Finally we get to the highlight of the single, the song Babylon. It is technically not a Therion song, but was recorded because composer Lars Rosenberg (ex-Entombed) wanted to get it on tape before his ex-band mates could steal it. It is much simpler than the rest of Therions music from this period, but enjoyable nonetheless.
