A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing.

Rising from the unhallowed wastes of Western Sydney, Australia, extreme metal outfit THY ART IS MURDER have carved a trail of bloody mayhem since their inception in 2006. With an acclaimed EP and debut album in Infinite Death and The Adversary to their name and an insane online following, the band have traversed the highways and autobahns of Australia, the UK and Europe on a relentless crusade to destroy every venue and audience they can with like minded peers in a whos who of heavy metal.

2013 brings a new ritual offering of darkness from the five piece. Simply titled Hate, the bands second full length is the pointed result of THY ART IS MURDERs growing dissatisfaction with all aspects of modern life political, religious, social and environmental everyone is to blame. Fusing the blasting technicality of metal luminaries THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER with thunderous breakdowns and the intensity born of their nascent hometown scene; the blackened grandeur of BEHEMOTH and the pit churning groove of Tampa originators MORBID ANGEL and CANNIBAL CORPSE, the furious musical arrangements provide a bloody canvas for vocalist CJ McMahons outpourings of bile. No strangers to stoking controversy and criticism, the band have not toned down their art for the sake of palatability and have introduced a morose melodicism into their maelstrom the rumination before pulling the trigger.
