1998年Therion借着强大气势发表了《Vovin》专辑，相比于《Theli》而言，此张作品可说柔缓许多，除了旋律更为优美外，在弦乐与歌剧诗唱的运用上亦有更重份量的演出，Christofer可说是将交响歌剧式金属乐带入了一个崭新的领域。至此Therion已完全褪去了早期的Death Metal色彩，在演唱部份亦柄除了Death唱腔而全面改以男女多部的歌剧合唱。如今的Therion可说真正达到了将金属与交响乐完美熔于一炉的境界，成为乐风独树一帜的交响歌剧哥特金属王者！ Musicians: Christofer Johnsson: Guitar, Keyboards Tommy Eriksson: Guitar Wolf Simons: Drums Jan Kazda: Bass Waldemar Sorychta: Additional guitars Siggi Bemm: Additional guitars Lorentz Aspen: Hammond organ Ralf Scheepers: Lead vocals Martina Hornbacher: Solo and duet alto, Soprano vocals Sarah Jezebel Deva: Solo and duet alto, Soprano vocals Choir Eileen Küpper: Soprano Angelica Märtz: Soprano Dorothee Fischer: Alto Anne Tributh: Alto Gregor Dippel: Tenor Max Cilotek: Tenor Javier Zapater: Bass Jochen Bauer: Bass Orchestration by the Indigo Orchestra Petra Staltz: Violin Heike Haushalter: Violin Monika Malek: Viola Gesa Hangen: Cello Alois Kott: Double bass, Contrabass Comments from Chris: Taking the concept even further and developing the opera metal into a more melancholic and even more innovative domain. I used world class session musicians and tried to get a more accessable sound. The opera choirs are more traditionally arranged for that genre.
