Thurisaz Releasing Live Acoustic CD/DVD

The Belgian atmospheric black/death metal band Thurisaz and the label Sleazy Rider Records have set January 24th of 2015 as release date for upcoming CD/DVD "Thurisaz: Live & Acoustic." The cover artwork and track listing can be seen below, and Thurisaz comments:

"Thurisaz has always been more than just heavy songs with distorted guitars, growls and screams... There has always been a more softer and emotional side to Thurisaz... Often acoustic songs with mainly clean vocals and emotional lyrics. We never wanted to play those songs live before, because we felt that playing them amongst the heavier songs wouldn't do them justice. But throughout the years we realized that a lot of the fans also appreciate this other side of Thurisaz.

"That's why, in September 2013, we decided it was time for a new challenge: an acoustic show with all the songs we didn't play before. We didn't want to bring the songs too literally, we wanted to add something special that would raise the songs a few levels. The aim was to bring a total experience, in a cool venue, with live projections, an awesome lightshow and of course additional strings. It was also a chance to pay homage to the bands that influenced us throughout the years. It took us 9 months of hard work, but in the end we gave birth to something beautiful that made it all worthwhile... "
