Thy Art Is Murder kondigt album aan

De Australische deathcore band Thy Art Is Murder heeft een nieuwe plaat aangekondigd. Het nieuwe album heet Holy War en verschijnt op 30 juni via Nuclear Blast Records. Het schijfje is opgenomen met producer Will Putney, die al eerder werkte met bands als Suicide Silence en Northlane. Gitarist Andrew Marsh over het 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.”

Holy War wordt de opvolger van het in 2012 uitgebrachte album Hate.
