1997年是Therion的成立10年纪念,因而乐队发行了一张特別的纪念专辑《A'arab Zaraq Lucid Dreaming》,这张专辑除了包括一些翻作曲、Theli时期的未发行曲、一曲翻作自第二张专辑中的旧作外,并有由Christofer重新编曲与Barmbek交响乐队、North German Radio Choir共同录制取自一部艺术电影《The Golden Embrace》的电影配乐。

Comments from Chris:
Our 10-years anniversary album. We used songs from the Theli sessions that didn’t fit on that album, used some cover recordings we had done earlier, recorded one more cover, did some Therion versions of a classic movie soundtrack I did as a solo artist as well as a re-recording of the old track Symphony Of The Dead (originally from the “Beyond Sanctorum” album). As a bonus, I also included the original soundtrack.
