Today the Swedish band Defenders of the Faith released their new single, “Norhern Stones”. Defenders of the Faith is a side project of Christofer Johnsson, the creator of Therion band. It is a project with compositions in the 80s rock music style that inspired Christofer Johnsson to become a musician and a composer of albums.

“Northern Stones” has a retro video. Here the vocals and the chorus are close to Therion’s compositions. The guitars of Christian Vidal and Christofer Johnsson are playing in a wonderful duet. On the bass is the Therion’s long time bassist Christian Vidal. Vocalist is Thomas Vikström.

The Defenders Of The Faith’s debut album, “Ode to the Gods” will be released on June 27th 2025. You can pre-order it here: https://www.therion.se/product-page/defenders-of-the-faith-ode-to-the-gods
