Hi!!! I am back again. I have been "away" for a while due to personal reasons. But everything is just fine. Yesterday I got a phonecall from a very happy Christofer Johnson who became a father to little Ludvig! (Or Ludwig) The whole family is home and well! The little man was a pretty big guy on 4 kilos!Last week we did a photosession for Covered Call with in my opinion one of the best and nicest photografers Michael Johansson. The record is really good if you are into melodic rock! The album will be called "Money never sleeps". |

Yesterday I played and entertained for a bank. They were only twelwe people and they were actually funny. If you allow me to be cynical. To play for banks, IT people, or "suits" are mostly a disaster. These people are so into their work and their world so they had probably forgot how to have fun. I speak of course in general terms now. And yesterday was an exeption!! Great gig. Also yesterday me and Ludmila had our firts anniversary. One year of total love!! I am a very happy man!!!

Recorded demos the whole day yesyerday. Its time for the Swedish Melodyfestival again. The winner from that festival are competing for Sweden in eurovision songcontest. This is the time of year when every composer gets crazy and writes their asses of to get a chance to be in the final with their songs. And that means: Work for me and a few other singers!! I sang for almost 12 hours in a row last day in two different studios. Bad for the voice, good for my wallet!!! Thomas V |

Hi all!! On my way to do studiowork!! I have a question for you. As you all know I am not a religioius person. But respect ALL religions.(Even though its not science) My philosophy is to be as good as you can while you are alive. And also one thing I dont like is when people try to speak for god and push their beliefs on to me. And who consicer themselves as "better"or "more holy" than me because I dont share their thoughts. If god wants to say something to me I am sure he is powerful enough to do that in person. I will post one letter I got from a man. Let me hear what you guys think about it. Agree with me or not??Here it is: "hey man, I remember you saying you accept all religions and respect them but i must tell you, there is only one way and that is through the blood of Jesus Christ! no man is good enough to get to heaven by beeing a "good" person because scripture says in Romans "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". you see no one is good because we have all sinned, and religion is mans false attempt to reach God through their own works. here is what the scripture says about the only way to salvation and true repentance-Jesus Christ! "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12 those who do not repent from their sinful lifestyle (1 Cor. 6:9) and turn to Christ as Lord and submit under the word of God will have their place in the lake of fire on the day of judgment. i hope you will come to see this my friend so that you might be saved from eternal damnation in eternity and start living your life for Gods glory, submitting under His word as the ONLY truth! "And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him..." Hebrews 5:9" -Jason777 |

| Today I saw the closing cermony from China olympics!! What an incredible spectacle!!!!! Also my favourite opera singer Placido Domingo sang there!!! His voice is still Incredible!!! Sweden had a pretty bad Olympic luck this time. I think we just had four silver medals or something like that! But anyway!! I am not a huge sportfan. But I love sport when it's The Olympics or worldchampionships and big things! The only exeption is Ice hockey!! That sport I really like and follow leagues all over the world. Also a big congratulations to Argentina (my second home) that won the gold medal in soccer!!! | ||||

| Last Saturday we went to Marianos(singer of Etherna) house in Campana for an Asado!! and what an asado!!! Marianos father told me everything about the parilla (The special grill that they are using) And also that they take care of every part of the cow. Yes even the head and the "familypieces"!!!! And Sofies(bassplayer of Etherna)mother made empanadas that were really REALLY good!!! We had a great evening together, with a lot of joking(I had salt and pepper in my wine....)and talking!! Thank you!!!! I had a fantastic evening with you guys!!! I will never forget it!!! And your parents were such wonderful people!! I always leave you guys with a tear in my eye.....I will miss you so so much! But we will meet again!!! Last night I was out o a buffet with my parents in "law" and my brother in "law" and my lovely woman. We went to a buffet that had everything from sushi to pasta to meat (of course). And they had a Marriachi band playing. Mariachi is Mexican folklore!!! Guess who ended up with a sombrero on his head??? Me! Everybody photographed the strange blond guy.....I was blushing very much!! But the band was very very good and their voices were beyond good!! Ludmilas parents does not speak english at all and my spanish is very very poor! But somehow we manage to have such a nice time together. They are really sweethearts, generous, loving people!!! I am proud to know them!!! Tonight me and Miss Recarga....Oh...sorry Ludmila are invited to Christian Vidals(phantom guitar player of Ricky Martins band) house for another Asado.

Time is 14.39 and I just woke up! Normally I am up around 07.00. The gig at Acatraz last night was very cool and funny!! And It gave me an opportunity to joke around onstage and improvise a little! and for the first time in a long time I was very nervous! (But in a good way) We did Tears of blood(And Etherna song), Now or never, fooled around a little with Lemuria, And I was almost touched to tears when I sang my own new written song "I left my heart in Argentina". Its a ballad, not even hardrockballad, more jazz....bossanova song..stuff. When I saw all this gothic/metal dressed people started to clap their hands along with it and sing along in the chorus, it was hard to hold back the tears! After that we did Jawbreaker and ended with Son of the staves of times from Therion. After the gig we had a long night in the resturant of tha place. Me and Ethernas guitar player Mr Galazzo also swept a couple of Tequilas.....Uaaak..This drink from hell!!! But so nice anyway! I wanna send a big hug to Etherna guys who are always so nice. Satans night out(very cool and VERY gothic opening act)And everybody who worked with this in a very proffessional way!!! And my wonderful Ludmila who stands up for me even when I am a real bitch in a nervous mood!!! You are the best! I will never in my life forget this evening!!! Thanx everybody! Tonigh we are heading out to Campana to have an Asado (Argentinean barbeque) and the best Empanadas in the country if the rumour is true!!! Espectacular!!! |

Goodmorning!!!! Another sunny morning in Buenos Aires!!! Springtime is here!!! But I am the only one who thinks that! Yesterday I went to record a song with Christian Vidal in his homestudio. We clicked musically very good also as friends! After that we went to club Acatraz for soundcheck. It all went very smooth!! I will upload new pictures very soon. The whole gang also went out for pizza after the soundcheck. I told to Mati (the sister of my girlfriend) before we went to eat:How much you wanna bet that we will eat pizza tonight??? And so we did! Pizza is probably more popular here than in Italy!! And the pizzas are really good!! REALLY good!! The most common way to order pizza here is to order a monster and share with your friends. But last night I was beyond hungry and ordered a big big Calzone for myself and protected it with my life! After that is was goodnight directly!!!! Today I will meet Mariano Macchi to struggle through a song that we will do together tomorrow at the gig! Thomas |

| This Saturday we reharsed for the show that we are about to do. Me , the band Etherna, the guitar hero Kristian Vidal (who is the guitar player of the singer Eric Martin) and Clara who is a great opera soprano. It all worked VERY good.I was so so happy. The guys brought me presents. Great things! And also for Ludmila! I was realy touched!!!!!!! After we went out everybody to a rockpub called The red bell. A great place with a great atmosphere. Exact my kind of place. Dark, and not so fashionable. We had a lot of fun and a lot to drink. Me and Ludmila came home at six.....And yesterday we went to cinema. But first we had breakfast around 16.00......Just spoke with Mats "Mappe" Björkman from Candlemass. And he told me that they are recording their new album now. Lets wish them the best of luck! This week for me will be some interviews and stuff like that, but also a lot of relaxation. I think Buenos Aires freezes over! Its so so cold here!! But the atmosphere is so warm so it does not matter! | ||||

Yesterday I was hanging out with Charley from the band Etherna and Mati who is the younger brother of Ludmila. We were sitting on an exellent cafe called Persicco. (That means Peach..or Durazno in Swedish) I thought that me and Charley was two crazy guys, but after hanging out with Mati, I realized I am pretty normal...Hahahahhahaha....He is such a clown and so so funny. He is the kind of guy that will charm himself through life!!! Saludos for that! Later me and Charley reharsed a little for the show in Club Alcatraz, and after that me and Ludmila, Charley and Mati went out to eat on a steakhouse called Tucson. Exellent!!! Today, I will meet up with Mati to eat some sushi!! Me and him seems to be the only guys here who likes that!! Thomas V |

| To go up in the morning.....make a coffee....have a smoke on the balcony and watch Buenos Aires slowly wake up and come to life is so cool!! And to have my beautyful warm lady sleeping in my bed does not suck either!!! I am having the time of my life. It is winter here and pretty cold. We have our apartment in Belgrano (my favourite part of Buenos Aires) Very close to Cabildo. Thats a BIG street!!! I say it again, for the 1000 time: If I did not have kids, I would stay here permanentaly!! No doubt about that! The bus comes when it comes....the bus costs nothing(not even for the people here) You are not living through a fucking clock here like in for example Sweden. If you are two minutes late in Sweden people starts to wonder if you died...Its cool!! I like it here very much!! | ||||
| JUL 25 2008 Buenos Aires ARGENTINA | ||||

Back home again from Italy! Had a great time and a lot of good food!!

And I finally arrived to Jakobstad Pörkenäs 15 minutes before gig time. It was a VERY VERY strange gig.....And after I slept like a little baby! Feels good to be home.

R.I.P EARL ROOT 29 may 1962 - 23 may 2008 Today I got very sad news. Earl Root who was playing guitar in our opening band on the Therion USA tour Aesma Daeva passed away. I got along with everybody in the band but Earl and I came very close! He was a very very easy funny guy with a lot of homour and a warm heart! And he still had the little child left in his soul! I saw during the tour that he was in terrible pain but I never realize how bad it was. I send my condlences to his family today and to Aesma Daeva. Sleep well Earl! |

It is now official that Petter, Johan and Kristian has decided to leave Therion. It's no hard feelings at all involved in their decision. And it has been a great honor to play with those guys!!! Thank you guys and the best of luck in your future projects!! Even if it's hard, Therion deserves to live on and it will do so!!! And we will do the Plock festival in Poland! That means th ePolish fans will be the first ones to see a new (maybee temporary)line up!! We will do the best we can for the fans!! Best wishes Thomas |

Just came home from a gig with Black Brigade. My sons band! It's so fun to see him onstage playing that bass...The music sounds just fine, but they have to improve their stage presence much more!!! some of the guys in the band looks like they are doing homework or something. Or are very interrested in their own shoes. It does not look good when your singing about swords of fire and dragons that will vomit on you with fire acid in the deepest dark of hell...HHahahahahah...BUT, I have learned to shut up and not put my big nose in their band!! They will realize it themselves one day!! But it was great to see them anyway! It's also now comfirmed that Therion will do one gig this year. The 6th of september in Plock in Poland. A big Festival. Its gonna be great!! Polish fans are really wild!!!!!!AND THE BEST: FREE ENTRANCE! JUST SHOW UP!! I have not seen the guys since the tour ended in December. I miss them!!! Thomas V |

Hi everybody!!! Long time since I wrote!! Well...nothing special really happened for a long time. I have some news now. As you might know the new Mehida album is recorded and will be out in September. June 15 I go down to Turin Italy and record with a band Called Demon Angels and later this month I will start to record the new album of Dark Illusion. A lot of things to do. I have also some news candy for all Therion fans but I am not allowed to say anything about that yet. But stay tuned!!!!!!!! On www.megatherion.com there is a new interview with me on the forum(topic general chit chat). With questions from fans!! I have a heavy week in front of me. On Wednesday I will sing on a funeral. A friend of mine lost his 11 year old son in cancer. How do you really deal with that?? So I am very focused on that "job" right now. I will be better with the updating in the future!!! Hugs from Thomas |

In the middle of the ocean on M/S Gabriella on my way home. I miss the guys in Mehida.We had a great time during recording and I cant wait to hear the result. I just met my old friend and collegue and musical star Niclas Andersson on the boat. We played together in Miss Saigon. He is a sweetheart and an amazing singer. So it feels good to have one to talk to during these hours on the boat. We just left the bar and two Irish coffeys behind and he went down to do some other business in his cabin...... Later on I will try to reach my girlfriend and see the show that they have on this boat! Bye for now and SHIP OHOY!!! |

| The recording has gone very smooth so far. The new album is very cool!! some tracks are VERY progressive(sometimes so progressive that is goes beyond my brain)And some tracks are more straight forward almost a little emo. I think its cool! Yesyerday the mother of Markus(the drummer) came by to say hi. She is an Opera singer and a VERY nice lady and she will hit some notes on the album as well! I think I will finish my part on the album today and go home tomorrow. | ||||

Mikko and I work very good together and its a relaxed feeling!! Last night we had a real finnish Sauna. 120 degrees....How about that?? | ||||

Hi everybody!! Just wanted to share a funny list with you!! It's called:"YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BECAME SWEDISH" WHEN: 1, You accept that you will have to queue to get a queue number 2,You always put papermoney in the wallet. Never in your pocket 3,Silence is fun 4,Your coffee consumtion has exeeded to 12 cups a day!! 5,You accept fully when a politican says:"NO COMMENTS" 6,The fact that "v" and "W" are mixed together in the phonebook seems perfectly right. 7,You are always on time. 8,Hugging is reserved for sexual foreplay. 9,You refuse to wear a hat, even in minus 20 degree weather. 10, you know that "religous holiday" means "Lets get pissed" 11,You've become lactose intolerant. 12,You accept that 80 degrees in the sauna is chilly. But 20 degres outside is freaking hot!! 13,You have conversations with people in minus 15 degrees. 14,Having to book seat numbers in the cinema makes perfect sense.And you sit in your booked seat even if there are only 2 more people there, and your seat is on the front row, on the side.. 15,It's acceptable to have lunch 11.00 16,You get extremely annoyed when the bus is more than 3 minutes late 17,Your wife watches TV while you look after the kids. 18,You dump your friends because they have been fifteen minutes late more than five times. 19,You think that if you smoke a joint you will wind up in an insane asylum. [or become a habitual criminal] 20,You actually care if your mobile phone meets the fashion standard - and so do your new Swedish friends. 21, Paying $6 for a cup of coffee seems reasonable. 22,"Candles" are a permanent fixture on your weekly shopping list. 23,When offered a bottle of beer the first thing you look at is the alcoholic percentage. 24,You think it entirely reasonable to pay $40 for a five minute chat with the doctor. 25,You think it is normal EVERYTHING is regulated and you obey the rules voluntarily. 26, You mutter "oy,oy,oy" continually to yourself even though you are the only one in the room 27,When someone asks you for "sex" you assume they mean half-a-dozen. 28,Bringing dead sticks indoors at Easter and hanging coloured feathers on them seems a good way to celebrate spring. 29,Pigs say ”nerf nerf”, frogs say ”kvack, kvack” and roosters say ”kuckeliku” 30,You accept that adverts for houses do not include the price of the house. 31,You accept that Job adverts do not include the salary scale. 32,You pay the TV-licence because you think you're getting your money's worth watching SVT. 33,You don't even get surprised when the doctor, not only can't help you, he/she can't even diagnose you. 34,You take your shoes off when entering a house while visiting your friends in other countries. 35,It is your birthday YOU have to make the cake 36,YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE LIVE ANYWHERE BUT IN SWEDEN!!!! Well....Hahaha..I JUST DISCOVERED I AM SOOOO NOT SWEDISH!!! Are you?? |

There has been a misunderstanding according to my guestbook. Its not closed or removed!! I had answered so many mails today. I just said that messages of PRIVATE character like "call me", "Are you home on sunday?", "you wanna come for a coffee on sunday?" These kinds of messages are often sent in by people I know or even sometimes close friends. And they can reach me anyway and not through the guestbook.THESE are the kind of messages that will be deleted. WHY? because its disrespectful for my, Therion, Candlemass,etc fans. Or just people that like (or dislike) what I am doing.They dont want to read about that! Fans are welcome with any questions they want and as you know I ALWAYS reply! The only exeptions is my webmaster, kids, girlfriend, and my mom(even though she never will!! HAHAA)I hope you guys understand what I mean!! I am not angry or anything. Its just the way I want it to work!!! MANY HUGS OF LOVE FROM ME! |

| 07.18 Madrid airport 6 degrees and VERY tired! It went very smooth and good with IBERIA airlines from Ezeiza airport in Buenos Aires. But to tell you the truth: It feels so bad to go home. If not for my kids and for my work I would stay in Argentina.I will also tip my hat for my new friends I made. The guys in ETHERNA with familys, Puerto sol stuff in Gualeguayu,Monzon family that welcomed me with open arms to their beautyful house in Belgrano Buenos Aires. Ana, Carmen, Orlando and crazy Mati!! I have also become addicted to MATE. The national drink. Mate is a kind of herbal tea very hard to describe. But the biggest hug and deepest kiss goes to the best girlfriend in the world Ludmila. You made this holiday unforgetable! People in latin and southamerica are so kind and cool. Someone told me its because youre a rockstar. That guy was SO WRONG!!! | ||||

I lot of tits and shaking asses from the girls and a lot of muscular male bodies!! And the outfits they wore made kiss dresses look like pyjamas costumes..This carneval thing is unexplainable. You just have to see it for yourself!! After that we went very tired for a pizza. After sitting on aplastic chair for 5 hours you are pretty hungry! I always brag about how good the swedish pizza is!! Well...I will never do that again!! Kisses Thomas |

But those guys really knew how to party!!And a couple of years ago we played in a "seniorliving" place for REALLY old people. TAlk about seeing two different worlds!!! We were playing a song and that particular song pulled some string inside one of those old ladies in the front. Here eyes were so old but suddenly it has the light of a young girl when we played that song and she was clapping her old hands and she was so happy!! They wanted us to stay and drink coffey with them and so we did!! And its so nice to hear those old people talking about their youth and their memories!! I think we all should take some time and stop and listen to them sometime!! | ||||

| Yesterdays show in Rennes was a good one!! Everybody in the band are sort of burned out, but once we are onstage we are like troopers!! If Toulouse had the best catering Rennes had the worst. They took us to a resturant. My food was to be nice eatable. But the vegitarians had a plate with one tomato, one cucumber, one leaf of lettuce and a little clumse of COLD rice. That was it. Christofer went mad as a dog! And went to the promotor and shouted: Would you be satisfied with this for dinner?? I will play for three hours tonight!! Tonight is the last show with Therion in a very long time! It feels strange!! We will leave directly after the gig for Dusseldorff and then fly home tomorrow. No afterparty tonight. I will later today put up a list of people that have been impossible to be without on this tour!!! | ||||
| DEC 20 Ramonville-Toulouse, FRANCE | ||||

| DEC 20 Ramonville-Toulouse, FRANCE | ||||
| Yesterday concert was a real funny one. In the middle of the gig Petters snaredrum had to be switched, so me and Snowy had to improvise. I sang some Edith Piaff and Procul Harum and Ferdy played piano. The audience loved it!! I think they really appreciated to see another side of Therion. This morning I went up early to see a little. I looked out the window of the bus and found just an industrial area!! But shame to the ones who give up!! I just wet out anyway and found this beautyful channel with old boats that people actually lived on or..in!Then I was all of a sudden in Ramonville centre. Really small and very much like Haninge where I live. I bought a hairbrush and some topz for my ear that is totally blocked still!! Thats the reason why I just use the inear in my right ear!! I am totaly deaf on the left one. When I came out from the shopping mall there was a guy sitting outside the mall shaking in the cold air. He was homeless and probably on some drugs of some kind. We started to talk a little and I gave him some cigarettes and he started to cry of happiness and gave me a hug! His name was Damien and I told him that I could put him on the guestlist tonight. But he said he was to ashamed to go. Because he did not have proper clothing and was unclean etc etc. Then we said goodbye. Somehow I will never forget that guy and that sad/happy meeting! Now I am sitting waiting for soundcheck at Le Bikini. The venue for tonight! Its a new place and its very nice and the catering is delicous. Only Hungary had the same class catering! | ||||

I was up very early this morning and took a coffee and a smoke. I hanged around with our second driver Paul Mainhart. He is from England. Our Maindriver is German.His name is Klaus. He woke up and the comedy started. These two gentlemen has a vocabulary with eachother that is hardly not printable.

They are the best!!! Toniht we will play at a place called Hof ter lo. Its right outside Antwerpen in an industrial area. VERY boring area. Maybee I take a taxi in to town later! | ||||

| DEC 02 Stockholm SWEDEN | ||||
| Back home from a very bumpy flight from Kiev...Or Kyiv as they say down there. The plane was shaking forth and back and to the side and dropping and lifting..I personally slept the whole flight cause I have fever and a bad cold. Poor Katarina was all pale and cried again. Johan Niemann threw up..Well there you go!Personally I am not afraid to fly anymore. But I was once and its not a funny feeling! Finally the Gothic Kabbalah tour has come to an end. After the show me Christofer and Richard Peach and our backline tech Dominik were invited to a Lebanese resturant called Pachera! We had a nice evening together with the Ukrainian promotors. I was talking to the manager of the resturant who was a BIG lebanese gentleman. And I promised him to put the name up here on his resturant so..PACHERA!! Thats it!! Its a little embarrasing when fans asks...How do you like Kiev?? Well..the only sad thing with touring is that you mostly dont have time to see anything. That was the case with Kiev. Been there, but hasnt seen it!! But the gig was great and the audience as well!! | ||||
