Theli is the fifth studio album by Swedish symphonic metal band Therion. While Theli stays true to the band's roots in that it has a very dark sound, it is a major turning point in their history. Set, Egyptian god, is shown on the front cover . This was the last album on which Christofer Johnsson sang until 2004's Lemuria. A music video was filmed for the song "To Mega Therion". The song "To Mega Therion" appears in the shockumentary film Traces of Death IV.
