2) Thurisaz from Germany (NSBM)
3) Thurisaz from Poland (Pagan Black Metal)
4) Thurisaz from USA (RAC)
1) 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.
The Veil
Thurisaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the many taunting faces
That caused my own decay
I take (a) stand and resist
Put my feet into the soil, tell myself I can exist
Standing straight
Taking my time, put my feelings on the side
As I′ve done enough for others
The moment has come to take back my own life
Into the darkness, searching the pain
I'm hurting myself, it′s the same old refrain
Hiding myself till the harm is done
This only stops when I'll be gone
Pale is the moon
And dark is the sky
Black is my heart
It's the final goodbye
There is no more fence around the place where you grew old
The stairway to redemption, before my eyes unfolds
Ascend...
Descend...
Ascend!
Don′t give in to reason
Don′t give in to eternity
Your internal demons are searching for a way out of here
But don't give in to reason
Don′t give in to eternity
– I'll be gone –
The dead end lane guides me to the point
Where thoughts align and visions intertwine
The song "The Veil" by Thurisaz conveys a powerful message about individuality, resistance, and resilience. In the opening lines, the singer expresses their frustration with people who have caused their inner decay, and takes a stand to resist them. The singer puts their feet on the soil, and affirms that they can exist. This invokes the imagery of the power of nature to heal and nurture oneself. The singer takes back their life and feelings, which had been subdued for others, and stands straight now.
In the second verse, the singer delves into their darker side, which is hurting themself. They are hiding away from the pain until it becomes unbearable, but they seem to have accepted that this will only stop when they are gone. The imagery of the pale moon, dark sky, and black heart highlights the intense despair and hopelessness that the singer is feeling. However, in the final lines of the verse, they take control again, and declare the final goodbye on their terms - not in response to the hurting.
The final lines of the song repeat the assertion to not give in to reason or eternity, and emphasize the journey of the individual's redemption. The singer affirms that they will be gone, following which, the dead end lane leads them to a point where thoughts align and visions intertwine. The staircase of redemption appears before them. The song encourages listeners to stand up against the things that cause their inner decay, embrace their individuality, and be resilient in their journey towards redemption.
Line by Line Meaning
As I turn away
I'm avoiding those who have contributed to my decline
From the many taunting faces
I'm specifically avoiding those who harassed me
That caused my own decay
Their taunting and abuse led me to a bad state, and I blame them
I take (a) stand and resist
I'm standing up to them now and refusing to let their treatment destroy me
Put my feet into the soil, tell myself I can exist
By grounding myself and affirming that I am capable of being in this world, I'm beginning to heal
Standing straight
I'm holding my head high and projecting confidence
Taking my time, put my feelings on the side
I'm being careful and not letting my emotions rule me
Taking back what is mine
I'm reclaiming whatever dignity and power I can from those who took it from me
As I’ve done enough for others
I've been too selfless and it's time to focus on myself
The moment has come to take back my own life
I'm finally ready to regain control of my own destiny
Into the darkness, searching the pain
I'm going through a difficult process of reflection and self-discovery
I'm hurting myself, it's the same old refrain
My inner turmoil is causing me to harm myself in the same way over and over
Hiding myself till the harm is done
I'm still struggling with self-destructive tendencies and isolating myself from others
This only stops when I'll be gone
I fear that I won't be able to overcome my problems before it's too late
Pale is the moon
The environment around me is bleak and hopeless
And dark is the sky
Things look even worse than they are for me
Black is my heart
I'm deeply sad and full of despair
It's the final goodbye
I feel like I'm at the end of something, but not necessarily in a physical sense
There is no more fence around the place where you grew old
I'm no longer tethered to old habits or attitudes that were holding me back
The stairway to redemption, before my eyes unfolds
I can see the path to recovering and rebuilding my life
Ascend... Descend... Ascend!
I envision myself going through ups and downs in the process of healing
Don't give in to reason
I can't let my logical mind talk me out of my genuine emotional needs
Don't give in to eternity
I shouldn't feel like my problems will overwhelm me forever
Your internal demons are searching for a way out of here
My inner struggles are desperate for resolution and healing
But don't give in to reason
Again, I need to balance my emotional and logical needs
I'll be gone
This sense of finality persists in my mind
The dead end lane guides me to the point
I feel like I'm stuck with nowhere to go
Where thoughts align and visions intertwine
But I know that internally, I can reach a place of harmony and resolution
