1993年Therion发表了带有神祕标题名的第三张专辑《Symphony Masses: Ho Drakon Ho Megas》,这是一张将Death Metal融合交响成份、阿拉伯民乐、工业以及80年代重金属的实验性专辑,除了广受好平之外,也让乐队更向前迈进一大步。不过此时乐队的成员问題又再次浮现,由与当时Therion的唱片销量仍不够高,但却需要成员们投注相当多的时间与工作量,被视为不符经济效益,于是Therion很快地组成了第三代,不过成员除了Christofer与原任的鼓手外,只加入了一名新的贝斯手,使乐队成为了3人乐队,随后Therion即与Samael、Grave和Massacra共同举行他们首次的大型巡回演唱会。
Musicians:

Our most experimental album. Traditional 80’s heavy metal, classic music, industrial and Persian/Arabic influences is mixed with death metal.
