Sounds | Thurisaz, Monologue


Een lading sfeer gekoppeld aan een prachtige video: als smaakmaker voor het aankomende album pakt Monologue je aandacht om die niet meer te lossen. Waarom moeten we verdomme nog zo lang wachten! Atmospheric (avantgarde/doom/death/black) metal noemen ze het zelf en een betere omschrijving kunnen wij i.i.g. niet bedenken. Monologue gaat vrij rustig van start, drijvend op véél keys en cleane zang. Na een minuut kickt de double bass drum in, horen we ook grunts en screams en neemt de intensiteit toe, al blijft de gehele sfeer vrij 'gecontroleerd'. De slotminuut is ingetogen en bijna sacraal. Jawel, de mannen uit Wervik weten hoe je een pakkende song moet schrijven die van begin tot eind weet te boeien.Bovendien een dikke proficiat aan iedereen die heeft bijgedragen tot het realiseren van deze video! "Monologue' is a dark song about an inner fear that everybody tries to retain, that keeps on searching for a way out. For fans of diverse melodic/atmosferic metal with multiple vocal-styles! Stay tuned!"

Re-Incentive verschijnt op 1 september.



ter info

Thurisaz began in May 1997. After several demos, the band released it’s first full-album “Scent of a Dream” in 2004. The album sums up the best Thurisaz has to offer: very variated, high standard avantgarde doom-metal with lots of emotion and depth. Their growing live reputation gained access across the borders, which finally resulted in a European tour. In the winter of 2006 Thurisaz crashed the studio again to record their second masterpiece “Circadian Rhythm”, which was released in april 2007. The album was critically well acclaimed throughout the metalpress and confirmed the band’s status as an upcoming European metaltalent. The band promoted the album as much as they can, with as highlights a US-and EU-tour and spots on prestigious festivals and stages. In 2011, Thurisaz released their third full-length “The Cimmerian Years”. The album was once again recorded in the CCR-studio in Belgium. In 2015 they released “The Pulse Of Mourning”, a studio album and masterpiece as well. In the same year they played a unique concert @ their hometown Wervik which they released as a special cd/dvd “Live & Acoustic”.

At this moment (2020) they recorded their next studio-album “Re-incentive”. The new album will be released September 1st 2020. Touring plans are being made and hopefully we’ll see a lot of fans in the future on our shows.
