Therion mainman Christofer Johnsson has issued the following update:

"I'm happy to announce that I've officially just prolonged the contract with Nuclear Blast Records for another five albums. Our souls now belongs to the innovative and dedicated little label from the village of Donzdorf [Germany], who through hard work and and honest dedication over the years have become the pearl of metal labels of all times. It's been 12 years since we signed with them and I look forwards to the upcoming 12 years."

Therion recently announced the departure of vocalist Mats Lev?n prior to the band's appearance at this year's Wacken Open Air festival in early August. His replacement in the group will be Thomas Vikstr?m, who is best known to metal fans as the voice behind Candlemass' Chapter VI album (1992).
