Belgian atmospheric dark metallers Thurisaz have quickly grown since the release of their legendary "Scent Of a Dream" promo in 2004. Now, some three years later the band returns with "Circadian Rhythm" - an album that is sure to establish them as a relevant competitor within the European dark metal genre. Taking cues from the dark -, doom - and atmospheric metal genres Thurisaz interpretation is at once accessible, moody and always melodic. The vocal harmonies - done by 4 of the band's 5 members - from their "Scent Of a Dream" release remain intact but have grown exponentially in scale, complexity and execution. The synthesizers still form a prominent factor in the band's sound yet somehow never dominate the whole. At this point one could describe Thurisaz as a combination of "Like Gods Of the Sun" era My Dying Bride, early Opera IX and a bit of "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant" era Dimmu Borgir. Yet never does Thurisaz intent to sound evil or diabolic like the latter two acts intend with their sound, they create a sense of epic atmosphere similar to "The Knowing" era Novembers Doom or any of the works by Opeth. 'Point Of No Return' is the band's signature track on this record and easily the most recognizable of the material present on this disc. The track features a vocal guest appearance by Tijs Vanneste from that other well-known Belgian dark metal act Oceans Of Sadness. The album was recorded, mixed and mastered at CCR Studios in Zulte, Belgium and comes with the studio's expected high quality production. Artwork and lay-out are a big step up from their debut promo. Once again, in this department the works of later Opeth and Travis Smith come to mind. Do yourself a favour and pick this record up. Fans of dark, atmospheric, doom and even gothic metal will find something to their liking on "Circadian Rhythm". The most promising release on Shiver Records so far.
