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.

The new single, “Patterns Of Life”, can be heard below. The band comments: “"Patterns Of Life” was the first song written for The Pulse Of Mourning. The main riff has been around for two years but until now the song remained unfinished. It has all the key elements of Thurisaz: diversity, agressivity and beauty."

Thurisaz's 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 disillusion and bitterness are passing by."
