I know there are three or four Thurisaz around. To avoid any confusion, the Thurisaz we are interested in at the moment is the Belgian one. For years, Belgium, this flat country stuck between France and the Netherlands (that's for the non-European ones), has had a very lively extreme metal scene, with its most famous representative being the very brutal Aborted. As a French froggy, I've always found that Belgium and extreme metal were a bit antinomic, mainly because our poor neighbours have forever been the target of our brainless and bad taste jokes. I won't be stupid enough to tell some here, even if I know a lot of them. Anyway. Thurisaz show that the growing reputation of the Belgian scene is not erroneous, with this amazing album called 'Scent Of A Dream'.

I would agree with 8.5/10. Leaning slightly more towards an 8 for me.

Very underrated and not well known album. Discovered it recently and I must admit that there is something special in it. I don't really know what is it, maybe those acoustic parts?

This is a very impressive debut, I'm really digging the symphonics and folky elements on this album, and the clean and harsh vocals work together very well. It also has a great doomy setting and majestic atmosphere to it.

Honestly, I didn't get any folky moments in here, but maybe I just forgot them.
I think you might enjoy Garden Of Shadows's Oracle Moon, if you liked this one. Just replace melodic black with melodic death. It gives similar feeling of progressive meloblack/melodeath that Scent Of A Dream does.

I will check that one out thanks for the recommendation
