Dirk Thurisch – The voice of Angel Dust is back!

After a break of ten years, former Angel Dust vocalist Dirk Thurisch finally returns with his band MERCURY TIDE, which once started as a project and now grew to a full-fledged band. The new album “Killing Saw” is a natural progression from Dirk‘s last album “Why?”. Eventually the time has come that one of the most important German Melodic Metal vocalists returns like a Phoenix, rising from the ashes!

Dirk Thurisch has closed the chapter Angel Dust once and for all. Several failed attempts to revive Angel Dust only strengthened Dirk‘s wish to get started with MERCURY TIDE on a grand scale. Contrary to the debut from 2003, Dirk and his band, including drummer and producer Carsten Rehmann, bassist Chris “Dagger” Pohlmann and keyboarder Sim Reaper, place value on a more traditional sound that suites the band‘s stage persona. Great emphasis lies on the creation of a diversified, consistent atmosphere.

Magnificent melodies meet playful guitar riffs and catchy choruses, to which you want to sing along immediately. The opener and title track “Killing Saw” is a suiting introduction to MERCURY TIDE‘s musical landscapes. With “Home”, Dirk gives a clear-cut statement. He is happy to be back in the Metal scene and doesn‘t only look forward to meet up with his old fans, but also to make new ones.








 


The song “Searching” is one of the album‘s highlights: drifty riffs, fine hook lines and Dirk Thurisch at his best! This band truly knows how to conquer every Metalhead‘s heart. The following songs show the musical development of the band‘s unique songwriting skills. With their melancholic aura of tragedy, songs like “World Of Pain”, “Lord Of Memories” or “Out Of The Darkness” are reminiscent of NWBHM classics. The new record‘s sophisticated structure, along with the band‘s ambition and arrangements leave no doubt that MERCURY TIDE can keep up with the best of their genre.

The new masterpiece “Killing Saw” was recorded and mixed at the CKB Recording Studio by drummer and producer Carsten Rehmann (Japanische Kampfhörspiele, Kreator, Harasai …). The one and only Eroc (Matt Roehr, Mystic Prophecy, Firewind …) takes credit for mastering “Killing Saw”, which one can hear by the sound‘s wrecking ball heaviness.

The new record shows that Dirk Thurisch hasn‘t called it a day yet. Even though ten years have passed, he is more than ever before willing to proof his outstanding abilities as a performer in front of live audiences. Last year, he already celebrated his stage comeback with his new combo as a support act for Crimson Glory in Essen, Germany. After the great release shows in May as well as the celebrated concert as support act for Jon Oliva‘s Pain in Bonn, Germany more concerts are planned and will be announced on the band‘s official website www.mercurytide.de and of course on their social media pages, such as facebook.
