I'd go for Lepaca Kliffoth. It has some of my favorite oldies, such as "The Beauty in Black" and "Riders of Theli".
Though, it was a tough decision between HDHM and LK.

I chose LK.  I like more of the songs on that one.  But on BS, I really like Symphony of the Dead.

The album i chose is Ho Drakon Ho Megas.
I like very much how it sounds, the new elements they incorporate in their songs being a rare death metal album.
It is highly recommended even if you don't like death metal.

The brightest of Star lost his precious crown
It fell down to earth and was buried deep
From that very time man has searched for it.

Lepaca Kliffoth, IMO. I can hear it over and over...the songs remain in the head.

In my mind It's hard to choose between "Ho Drakon Ho Megas" and "Lepaca Kliffoth". Finally I chose "Lepaca kliffoth" because of several tracks which are so catchy (Melez, Riders of Theli, Darkness Eve, Evocation of Vovin...)

I went with HDHM. My second favorite Therion album overall due to its creativity.

Ho Drakon Ho Megas


Im really pleased with the arrangement of it. Especially the bass solo in Dawn of Perishness, as a bassist that made me really euphorically happy when I first heard it. :-D :-D

I recently listened to Beyond Sanctorum and I was pretty impressed, especially "The Way" a long song with many impresive riffs and unexpected changes.

Lepaca Kliffoth is the one I went for, for the reason that there are many great tracks that I love on it.  But on the other three albums, there are a lot of great tracks as well :D

Without any doubt I would say Lepaca because it has one of my favorite songs "The Beauty in Black". :)

That album is also a great , their debut, but i can find almost every song very similar

C'mon HDHM fans!

We are getting trounced by LK by a 3 to 1 ratio.

ok let's keep the topic alive for some time
and also i haven't posted here so...

my favorite of the oldies is Lepaca, of course
my favorite song is    Black
why don't i hear black mentioned more often on the forums.
w/e i like how it has so many changes following the same main riff and i like the slowstart-slowend thing with the fast middle
i also like riders of theli, beauty in black, wings of the hydra, the whole deal

Yes, I can second that. I'd like to see some songs of those albums live.

I say Beyond Sanctorum is the best of old ones, I really like Future Consciousness (especially the ending, its like wandering in some desolate death metal landscapes  8-)) and of course symphony of the dead & the way with its oriental melodics and optimistic ending  :lol:
