Just like its twin "Lemuria" this album opens up with an unusually fast and aggressive track called "The Blood Of Kingu". In a way Christofer Johnsson has travelled back in time to re-discover his roots without returning to the death metal of the first three albums. Today the recording budget has been multiplied several times and "Sirius B" has everything that makes a Therion album complete - operatic vocals, classical arrangements, a live orchestra, heavy metal guitars and sophisticated religiously centered lyrics which stand out as some of the finest found in modern music today. Many bands who try to combine elements from vastly different musical genres encounter problems but on the two new Therion albums everything just blends in perfectly. While "Sirius" B opens up with some very impressive songs there is some slightly weaker material here than what was placed on "Lemuria". I can not really put my finger on any striking differences between the two albums but perhaps this one is a little lighter. If you can only afford one of them I would advice you to go with "Lemuria" if you wanted Therion to move into a more metallic domain and "Sirius B" if you prefer the classical arrangements. A fan who simply enjoys good music can of course not be without any of them.
