Vovin (in Enochian VOVIN, VOVINA means dragon) is the seventh full-length musical album by symphonic metal band Therion. It is their bestselling album, selling over 150,000 copies in Europe alone.[2] Even though it was released under the name Therion, Christofer Johnsson regards this as his solo album, as it was recorded entirely with studio musicians who were not members of the band.

[es] Vovin

Vovin es probablemente uno de los más recordados y famosos álbumes de la banda sueca Therion que, además de continuar con la tendencia musical del Theli, incorpora una por primera vez orquesta sinfónica real y una composición mucho más compleja.[1] Siendo hasta ahora el disco más vendido de la banda (más de 160 000 copias), cuenta con la participación de las solistas Martina Astner y Sarah Jezebel Deva. Este álbum fue compuesto en su totalidad por Christofer Johnsson, quien en el momento era el único miembro permanente de la banda.
