Snowy Shaw back in Therion?

Is Snowy Shaw back in Therion? Just one day after it been “confirmed” that Snowy had joined Dimmu Borgir, Christofer Johnsson made the following announcment to Blabbermouth.net:

“We are very happy to announce that Snowy has rejoined THERION. We welcomed him back with open arms, and we will now be making a mix between the new show we had planned, and the last one which involved Snowy. We think the merger between the two concepts will be incredible, and we look forward to taking the band’s live performance to the next level.”

We just have to wait and see what happens with this and wait for a comment from Snowy about this…
