23-02-2011 We've signed with Sleaszy Rider Records !
Hey dear friends !!
First of all, we're glad to say, that after more than a year being in and out of the studio, the recording, mixing and mastering of the new album ' The Cimmerian Years' finally came to an end. Last sunday we officially spent our last minutes in the CCR-studio, adjusting and adding the last samples!
Second of all, we're proud to announce that we signed a deal with SLEASZY RIDER RECORDS from Greece (Ancient, The Elysian Fields, Prejudice...)! They will release our third album 'The Cimmerian Years', which will be available in May 2011!
So... What to expect? One could say it's gonna be a known mixture of styles, yet so very different... It's gonna be the known combination of different vocals, yet so very different... It's gonna be the known soundscapes of bombast and melody, yet again so very different... Let's just say, it will sound familiar and it won't... ;-)

29-10-2010 WE FINISHED 'THE CIMMERIAN YEARS' + SEARCHING FOR LABEL
Hey !! Proudly we can announce that we finished the mixing-part of The Cimmerian Years. After hours of mixing, with the excellent help of Kris from the CCR-studio, we can conclude we're very excited about the new songs and its sound! It's once again a mixture of all kinds of metal elements (and beyond), relished with lots of melody and melancholy. As a nice successor of 'Circadian Rhythm' this album will hopefully blow you away !!!We are still looking for a label! If you like the new song on myspace and want to hear more, be sure to contact us!
Horns up !

01-01-2010 New song !
2009 has been a year of heights and lows for Thurisaz... First there was the departure of our bassplayer Lars, which was a very though decision to make but in the end the right decision for both him ánd the band. We are still very grateful for all he did for Thurisaz throughout the years and wish him all the best in his future endeavours!!!The departure meant ofcourse there was room for a new recruit: Hannes Leroy, a long time friend of the band. With Hannes joining, Thurisaz finally found back the energy and inspiration it was looking for since quite some time. And that paid off!!! Since a year we've started to write new material, with ups and downs, but we're nearing the final stage. Recordings will be done next spring in the CCR-studio, where we recorded our both previous albums. We've always enjoyed working with Kris from CCR, so we're very much looking forward to record there again! But... no promises yet on a releasedate, to avoid false hopes
A couple of months ago we promised a new song on our myspace. It was originally meant as a preproduction (and in a way it still is), but thanx to the efforts of Nik, our soundengineer, it has turned out great! Granted, it has took us a little longer as foreseen, but here is 'Precious Scars' as a new years present from Thurisaz to the fans! Enjoy!!!
Check the song here
Grtz and best wishes for 2010 !
