“For the last few years since the ‘Reign of Darkness’ video came out, the only thing we’ve all been obsessed with was having fire in our next clip. With a title like ‘Light Bearer’, it all came together thematically and our friends at Ambitious Films understood our vision and helped make it a reality. We are so excited to bring you guys new music and a new video. Rejoice, the day of Satan and man is upon us.”

Thy Art Is Murder Speak On Their Original Controversial Cover Art

Thy Art Is Murder have commented on the bands decision to bin their original cover art for the upcoming album “Holy War”.

Check out what they had to say along with the original cover art which is still included in the album packaging:

“We wanted Holy War to be our most confronting release to date. From the moment the album title was conceived and the lyrics were born we had a distinct vision that the album cover artwork must be equally as confronting, as scary, and as real as what we are about as a band. Unfortunately after circulating our intended album cover around to the distributors and retailers, and after several meetings with the label and those we all work with, we were told we would have to cover the image, or choose a different cover.

Not wanting to alter our desired cover in any way shape or form, we opted to contain it within the album packaging and roll with one of the other images from the layout. Here it is in all its magnificent glory, a child for every religion that has indoctrinated the young and disadvantaged, and sent them off to war and bloody death without cause or reason. This album is for them.”

Thy Art Is Murder Announce New Album “Holy War”

Thy Art Is Murder have announced they will be releasing their new album “Holy War” on June 30 through Nuclear Blast which was produced by Will Putney (Suicide Silence, Body Count).

Band guitarist Andrew Marsh has said the following regarding the album:

“Finally the cat is out of the bag! Late last year, we entered the studio in secret to create our follow up to Hate, free of expectation and public pressure. What we came out with was a reaction to things going on around the world that crawl under our skin, that make us feel sick to be alive. Musically it is darker, faster and more technical than anything we’ve done in the past and it hits hard lyrically. We wrote about concerns of ours, real issues, hardships that people are facing around the world today.

Of course it wouldn’t be a THY ART record if a lot of those affairs weren’t rooted in religion somehow, and what better way to sum up the state of all things than by entitling our album – Holy War. This is our war on racism, homophobia, child abuse, animal cruelty and all evil born of religious immunity, indoctrination, and ignorance. It is ultimately a push for secularism and humanism. Without it, we will be left in the hands of mad men.”
