Christofer Johnsson

Johnsson used to reside in a villa he drew by him self ('Villa Adulruna') south of Stockholm with his girlfriend, Mina Karadzic. In 2019 they sold the villa and moved down to the island of Gozo, Malta. He is a vegetarian since 1997 and has a child.

On 26 January 2017, Johnsson revealed he had been suffering from intense pain in the neck and shoulders, and he was diagnosed with two spinal disc herniations (allegedly produced because of years of headbanging), and he was in risk of losing the ability to perform live. As a result, the rock opera project was delayed and the band downplayed their sets of songs in concerts to allow Johnsson to perform. By 8 April, Johnsson announced he had been able to avoid surgery as his condition had improved through physiotherapy and he would resume to perform at festivals by August.

On 26 July 1992 Johnsson's parents' house was set on fire. Christofer was on tour and not home at the time of the incident. Only one inch of a backdoor was damaged before the fire was put out, but the event was blown up in media and caused many rumours in the metal scene.

Christofer Johnsson (born 10 August 1972 in Upplands Väsby, Stockholm County) is a Swedish composer. He is a founding member and the guitar player for Therion and was previously in Carbonized, Liers in Wait, Messiah, and Demonoid. On 21 March 2006, he announced he will no longer sing for Therion, though he will continue playing guitar for the group.
