Thurisaz began as a quartet in May 1997, with Peter on guitar and grunts, Mattias on guitar and screams, Pepijn on drums and Lars on bass.
In 1999 Kobe joined on synths, an event that defined the sound of Thurisaz in the stages to come. 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

Thurisaz began as a quartet in May 1997, with Peter on guitar and grunts, Mattias on guitar and screams, Pepijn on drums and Lars on bass.
In 1999 Kobe joined on synths, an event that defined the sound of Thurisaz in the stages to come. 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. The reviews were really amazing and no one could really understand why this band
hadn't been signed yet.
By that time their growing live reputation gained access across the borders, which finally resulted in a European tour with doomlegends
Novembers Doom (US) and Saturnus (DK). Soon after the tour the band signed a labeldeal with Shiver Records, who will be releasing two
albums.
In the winter of 2006 Thurisaz crashed the studio again to record their second masterpiece Circadian Rhythm, which was released by
Shiver 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 a spot on the
prestigious Graspop Metal Meeting.
In the winter of 2009 Thurisaz' bass-player Lars got replaced by Hannes!In the meanwhile Mattias got endorsed by Mayones. Currently the
band is recording their third album which will be released by Shiver records! They're also preparing some european tours to promote their
third album as much as possible.
