Crowning of Atlantis is the eighth studio album by Swedish symphonic metal band Therion. In the beginning it was an EP fleshed out with several covers and live tracks from Vovin Tour '98 that the record label and management insisted be placed on it to make it a full-length album^{[citation needed]}.
