Originally slated for release as two separate entities, the sprawling 21-track explosion of classical, choral, and heavy metal was released as a two-disc set in 2004. Therion took the next year off and began work on their most ambitious project yet, Lemuria and Sirius B. Live in Midgard arrived the following year, chronicling the band's 2001 tours of South America and Europe. In 2001 Therion released Secret of the Runes, a conceptual piece that featured heavily orchestrated tracks, each representing one of the nine planes of Norse mythology. Crowning of Atlantis followed in 1999 with the same personnel, but Johnsson jettisoned this lineup for early 2000's Deggial, recruiting guitarist Kristian Niemann, bassist Johan Niemann, and drummer Sami Karppinen. Mellberg was absent for 1997's A'arab Zaraq Lucid Dreaming, and by the following year's Vovin, Johnsson was performing with an entirely new supporting unit consisting of second guitarist Tommy Eriksson, bassist Jan Kazda, and drummer Wolf Simons.
