Both classic Therion demos and their debut mini LP Time Shall Tell are collected for the first time on this killer compilation with all audio fully restored.

Paroxysmal Holocaust is Therion’s first blast of raw and feral aggression. Written on instinct and recorded in a single frantic day, it’s a collision of thrash fury, doomy darkness, and death metal power. No polish, no pretension but pure, reckless energy.

Beyond the Darkest Veils of Inner Wickedness is Therion’s second demo. Longer, more professional and more ambitious.

The final recordings on the compilation is Time Shall Tell, which captures Therion at their rawest; brutal, dark, and unpredictable. These four tracks are packed with sinister riffs, chaotic tempo shifts, and crushing heaviness. Recorded at Studio Sunlight in ’89, it’s pure, unfiltered death metal; abrasive, complex, and now available on CD for the first time.
