Penny lane:
Official Statement from Snowy's myspace blog:

Therion singer & frontman Snowy Shaw is forced to sit out this weekend's show at RockHarz, Germany due to sickness.

This German festival would have been Snowy's last show and with the band after he have decided to part ways with Therion after 4 years, 2 studio albums, Live DVD's and numerous tours around the world.

However, Snowy is included and has contributed writing and co-writing songs on the forthcoming Therion album: Sitra Ahra (scheduled for release through Nuclear Blast in September)

"I've had a terrific and great time touring and working with Therion and I do wish them nothing but the best in the future, but I've felt for some time that it's time for me to move on. I also wanna take the opportunity to show my gratitude and thank all the loyal fans for their support, love and understanding."


This however, will not effect their shows and Therion will continue as planned, and Thomas Vikström will from now on handle Snowy's parts too, At Rockharz Festival and the following tours in South/Central America, Mexico, Europe, Russia and so on.
 

Moreover, on the side of his vocal duties, as a graphic designer & artist Snowy was hired to be in charge of the visual aspects and help improve their stageact and performance for Gothic Kabbalah world tour 2007 and Therion's 20th anniversary tour.

 :bye: but i support his decision completely.

The One:
Well, there goes another member of the original GK line-up. :bye:
Quite honestly, his style and everything was something I had to get used to at first, but his singing was amazing and I'm hoping Thomas manages to do all the parts. I guess that all that's left to say is that I wish him best luck in whatever he ends up doing.

TheOFFman:
Well, one thing sucks in my opinion - Therion won't sound good with one singer, I want to hear CHOIR!!!! I don't like this new theatratical (?) direction in with Therion is going. I just need them to sound good as on the record so when choir sings that I get the chills.

I second that.

And I don't mind Snowy leaving. I never liked him anyways, and I don't think his singing was that amazing.  :wacko:

I think that his singing is very good, very unique, he sings in some of my favorite songs (The Wand of Abaris, Land of Canaan) and sounds great, it's just that I always prefer choir.
