Gothic Kabbalah is a Metal album by Therion, originally released in 2007. On Gatefold: 20 pressings tracked.
About
The final Therion album to feature Johann and Kristian Niemann, and Mats Leven as fulltime member, and first to feature Lori Lewis. Songs were composed by all band members, unlike with most other Therion releases, which are almost exclusively composed by Christopher Johnsson. The sound leans towards progressive metal in the vein of Symphony X. The lyrics mostly deal with medieval occultism and alchemy.
