Joy Station Club, 06.02.2024

The Swedish symphonic metal band Therion blew up the Bulgarian capital Sofia. It was a long, fantastic concert.

Tsena Koev and her band started the show. Tsena Stefanova is a singer and a songwriter who has many concerts with Bulgarian and foreign performers, and she is co-founder of the band “Tsena Koev” with the arranger Zhivko Koev. She took part in “Vivaldi Metal Project” (2015) and performed with the international project in many cities in Europe. In 2022 she recorded a mini debut album called “Emotions in a Jar”. In 2023 she was in the base of the concerts “Storm in Human Form”.

The legendary band Therion performed a very long set in front of their fans. They presented the new album “Leviathan III”, the last and the most melodic part from the whole “Leviathan” trilogy. They also played their hits from previous albums. The band added the show in Sofia at the last moment as a compensation for their canceled concert tour in 2022, when their booking agent screwed up the tour arrangement and they fired him. They said that in many cities from this tour, their concert can be the last one because they will make more concerts in the Republic of Chile and Latin America in the future and not in Europe.

The concert was organized by Sofia Music Enterprises, a well-known organizer of rock and metal concerts.
