Belgian atmospheric doom metallers Thurisaz will release their fourth full-length album, The Pulse Of Mourning, on March 31st via Sleaszy Rider Records. The cover artwork was created by bandmember Mattias Theuwen in cooperation with Jeroen Mylle (Amenra) and can be seen below.

Thurisaz’ follow-up to 2011's "The Cimmerian Years" was produced by the band's guitarist Peter Theuwen together with Nik Mettez and Kris Belaen at the CCR studios (Axamenta, In-quest, Suhrim) in Zulte and mastered at the Tailor Made Studio.

The band has the following to say about The Pulse Of Mourning: “The Pulse of Mourning is a logical next step for Thurisaz after 2011's The Cimmerian Years, but also a return to the rawness of 2007's "Circadian Rhythm". Once again we tried to create a very diverse album in which the many aspects of desillusion and bitterness are passing by."

The Pulse Of Mourning tracklisting:
“Longing...“
“…For A Change”
“Patterns Of Life“
“Tangram”
“Rays Of Light”
“One Final Step”
“Enslaved Dreams”
“In All Remembrance”
“Stargaze”

Thurisaz: Live & Acoustic was released on January 30 through Sleaszy Rider Records.
