Deggial is the ninth full-length studio album by Swedish Symphonic metal band Therion in 2000. As with many of Therion's other albums, Deggial features a choir and orchestra. Unlike their earlier release Vovin, which seemed to focus more on vocals, Deggial's style leans towards hard rock and sounds overall like Vovin with more atmosphere.

Cover design

gollark: And this seems too vaguely defined to be useful if you can just handwave any issue which does not in fact run on something like "balance" as being caused by some other imbalance.
gollark: Actually, no, they're partly just background radiation. Nobody is particularly responsible for this, on the majority of Earth.
gollark: By some unreasonably stretched definitions, maybe.
gollark: There are upper and lower bounds for how much water I should drink. The precise amount of cancer I should contain is exactly zero, though.
gollark: There are examples of this. There are examples of this not being the case.
