THY ART IS MURDER release music video for ‘New Gods’, new album »Human Target« out now

Power of Metal — Fri, 26 Jul 2019 20:21:21 +0000

THY ART IS MURDER‘s earth-scorching fifth record, »Human Target«, is unleashed unto the world via Nuclear Blast (ROW) and Human Warfare (AU/NZ). The band offers fans the music video for the fourth single, ‘New Gods’. Directed by Elder and produced by HAUS PARTY / Elder & Todd Farley, the meta conscious video providing commentary on the ‘New Gods’ can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NfyTg6gzY4

Guitarist Andy Marsh comments, “‘New Gods’ is interwoven in theme with the song ‘Chemical Christ’, discussing the idea of mental health and modern inventions’ intervention with a natural state of consciousness. The idea that social media is one of the major driving forces of increasing levels of depression in the western world was fascinating to us, and we thought what better way to use the platform ironically to discuss these ideas than by using an aspect ratio designed specifically for it. We hope you watch the clip and then put your phone down, life is better through the eye of the beholder than the lens of an algorithm.”

»Human Target« was produced, engineered, mixed and mastered by Will Putney at Graphic Nature Audio in Belleville, NJ. The artwork was once again painted by Eliran Kantor (HATEBREED, TESTAMENT, ICED EARTH, SODOM).

THY ART IS MURDER – release music video for second single, ‘Death Squad Anthem’

Power of Metal — Sun, 09 Jun 2019 15:18:43 +0000

THY ART IS MURDER

THY ART IS MURDER have delivered another master lesson in brutality via their new single/video ‘Death Squad Anthem’. A champion for the youth who are fed up with the current political system, ‘Death Squad Anthem’ is the second cut lifted from their earth-scorching fifth record, »Human Target«, set for release on July 26 via Nuclear Blast (ROW) and Human Warfare (AU/NZ).

Guitarist Andy Marsh comments,

“‘Death Squad Anthem’ is a blazing examination of the current state of politics riddled with hyperactive virtue signalling, extremism and disenfranchisement. The despondency of “Death Squad Anthem” is brought to life with stark socio-political traumatic scenes of warfare, genocide, police states, brutality famine and riots interspersed with those at the helm of the atrocities.”

THY ART IS MURDER – announce new album, title track out now, pre-orders online

Power of Metal — Fri, 26 Apr 2019 18:14:47 +0000

THY ART IS MURDER

Against this backdrop of postmodern dystopia, chaos, and confusion, arrives »Human Target«, the earth-scorching fifth album from extreme metal titans THY ART IS MURDER.

In anticipation of the album release on July 26th via Nuclear Blast (Rest of World) / Human Warfare (Australia, New Zealand), the band has unveiled a music video for the title-track, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMl3exzgGto

Comments THY ART IS MURDER guitarist Andy Marsh:

“»Human Target« was the last song written for the album as I felt we lacked an opening track to set the mood and provide the impact for what was to come. Human organ harvesting had been brought to my attention as a serious matter that wasn’t receiving much coverage (or not enough for me to hear about it) and I thought the issue required more scrutiny and awareness. To distill the metaphors of proletariat subjugation down to the visceral injustice of taking away the engines of life, seemed to be a powerful atmosphere to open the record.”

CABAL PRESENT VIDEO FOR “NOTHINGNESS (FEAT. MCMAHON)”

The track is taken from the debut album “Mark Of Rot”, which came out in February 2018, and features the voice of Thy Art Is Murder frontman CJ McMahon

Watch the creepy video for “Nothingness” here

Yesterday CABAL released their brand new video for the track “Nothingness” from their debut album “Mark Of Rot”, which was released in February this year. The song features the voice of CJ McMahon of THY ART IS MURDER and is a merciless banger. The video closes the video cycle, which was started with the video for “False Light” and continued “Blackened Soil”.CABAL is one of the most brutal and promising heavy acts hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark. The band aims to create a visceral and doom-laden atmosphere throughout both their music and visual expression. The production is crystal clear, whilst the songs draw a lot of inspirations from everything from black and death metal to djent and hardcore.

Interview with Andy Marsh of Thy Art Is Murder

With longtime vocalist CJ McMahon’s return, Thy Art Is Murder guitarist Andy Marsh spoke to Power of Metal about the process of recording their latest album Dear Desolation.

Hi Andy, thanks for the time! I’ve read a few interviews CJ has done, and they either brought up some other questions I had, or I wanted to expand upon some of his answers. So here we go!

How much of the music/lyrics were done before CJ came back, and how much input did he have in it/them when he did?

All the music and lyrics get written before he comes to the studio, then he comes in and delivers his vocal performance. He’s like an insane voice actor that takes the script and invents the character that you need for the role, and his talents there are quite unmatched.

What sense of freedom did you have making this album compared to previous and why?

The same as always, we just had more time to work on this record as we spread it up over three months, so we had the added comfort of not rushing our decision making, and being able to see the record as a whole for a lot longer before finishing it. In the past its like we were painting the idea in our head without ever taking a few steps back to look at how it was coming together, this time we did.

It sounds like you are usually pretty guarded with your song ideas going into any writing process, what made you more open and comfortable in sharing everything this time around?

I guess so, sometimes it takes a lot for me to dig out the idea and then create a metaphor or the right words to give power to the thought, and in a way that is not too specific to my experience. I think when I wrote They Will Know Another we finally realized the true potential of Sean’s music and my lyrics.

What kind of impact do you think NOT having Shawn and Kevin around during the final recording process have on the eventual output?

I can’t be quite sure, it just made for a lonely recording experience, but it was very focused. Sometimes you doubt certain ideas and not being able to get immediate feedback was an issue but it all worked out in the end.

Lastly, do you have anything to say to the fans that stuck with you during CJ’s departure/hiatus?

Thanks for your support and loyalty, enjoy Dear Desolation.

Thy Art Is Murder are currently on tour with Fallujah, Ghost Bath, and A Scar For The Wicked. They also have recently announced a tour of their home country Australia in support of Dear Desolation. Check out the video below, and thyartismurder.net for all the latest dates.

Thy Art Is Murder – Dear Desolation

Wade Reitz — Fri, 18 Aug 2017 11:52:07 +0000

Sometimes, taking a break from something can be helpful. A work issue, home project, or homework can all look different after walking away and coming back later. I’ve heard this can also be beneficial in relationships, though I can’t see how, especially in any I have had. In most cases, just walking away is the best thing. This is what CJ McMahon was thinking when he left Thy Art Is Murder in December of 2015. Luckily, his departure was not permanent, as he rejoined the band a year later. They have now released a new album, Dear Desolation, on August 18, 2017 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment.

Anyone who is aware of Thy Art Is Murder knows they have long been one of the premier deathcore bands on the scene. This is especially significant considering just the number of quality deathcore bands coming out of their native Australia. Therefore, the level of anticipation for a new album from these guys is pretty high. This, combined with CJ’s return, make it even higher. This is where the preamble about taking a break comes into play. During the writing process for Dear Desolation, the other band members had already completed a tour without CJ, so they assumed they were moving forward without him. This uncertainty of TAIM’s future seems to have pushed the music in a new direction.

The ten tracks of Dear Desolation definitely have more death than core in the mix this time around. Whereas previously their songs would typically be focused on the breakdown, this album is more focused on the riff. Opening track/single ‘Slaves Beyond Death’ is a great example. Instead of running the opening riff into a breakdown, the tempo is actually kicked up a notch. Sure, there’s still a breakdown at the bridge, but they don’t dwell on it. Second track/single ‘The Son of Misery’ takes it one step further, elevating the opening riff to a blast beat, and barely breaks from it the entire song. This pattern continues throughout the album, with each track being built more from a riff than a breakdown. Not that guitarist Andy Marsh didn’t write smoking riffs before, but they just seem to be more prominent on Dear Desolation versus the breakdowns. Don’t worry folks, the breakdowns are still there and just as brutal as ever. ‘Death Dealer’ and ‘The Skin of the Serpent’ are proof. There are times where you think TAIM will fall back into their old pattern, like in the opening moments of ‘Man is the Enemy’ or ‘Fire in the Sky’, but then they never fully commit or cut left. This keeps things more interesting and the listener doesn’t get lulled into a breakdown trance.

Thy Art Is Murder has taken a nice step forward with Dear Desolation. By pushing their music in a more deathly direction, the songs have become more focused and sharp as ever. They are more angry than evil, like on the previous album, Holy War. Apparently, sometimes taking a break is a good thing, because that’s exactly what it took for Thy Art Is Murder to create their best album to date.
