Thy Art Is Murder furiously charges once more unto the breach, clawing and spitting against the dying light and a seemingly inevitable collapse of existence. \u003ci\u003eDear Desolation\u003c\/i\u003e, the Australian metal crew’s fourth and mightiest album, is a devastating blow equally against and embracing of a cataclysmic nihilism and all-out misanthropic warfare. Combining classic and authentic death metal elements that invoke the renegade, spirit-crushing, monstrosity of early Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, and Decapitated with the precision rhythmic assault of Meshuggah and the breakdown-infused bounce of The Black Dahlia Murder, Thy Art Is Murder have redefined a once cast aside and maligned subgenre, proudly reenergizing and representing the best in extremity. \u003ci\u003eDear Desolation\u003c\/i\u003e continues the band’s evolutionary trajectory, remaining consistently inventive and diverse without sacrificing the band’s established identity. Thematically \u003ci\u003eDear Desolation\u003c\/i\u003e expands beyond vicious polemic and vehemently contrarian invective into broader storytelling, contemplative death anxiety, and meditations on mortality and morality.

Privatized prisons enforce police states, where nonviolent offenders languish for decades. Pharmaceuticals numb the mind. Social media distracts the spirit. All while the very planet lurches toward an inevitable climate disaster that will extinguish humanity. The Nightmare of Human Organ Harvesting? That’s not a gruesome song title from some forgotten old-school death metal record. It’s a headline from the Wall Street Journal. 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. Australia’s most brutally alarming cultural export since George Miller’s Mad Max franchise makes music that serves as a loud last gasp against the ever-encroaching void. It’s a blazing light of nihilistic despondency before the final darkness. Fusing authentic crushing death metal with blackened fury and flashes of knuckle-dragging stomp,Thy Art Is Murder exorcise the pangs of mortality and the pains of socio-political trauma. It’s a reinvigoration and redefinition of a thriving subculture that has earned them a place in the Top 50 Most Popular Metal Bands Right Now, According to the Internet, a list compiled by a popular metal blog (based on worldwide page views) that puts Thy Art Is Murder among Metallica, Slipknot, Slayer, Megadeth, Ghost, and Iron Maiden.  If this is truly the soundtrack to the end of humanity, it’s music that should unite and empower extreme metal fans in all corners of the genre. This is underground music for the people, carrying the torch for a primal style that doesn’t die. As New Noise declared, “few embrace the feel of the apocalypse so dearly and expertly…Thy Art Is Murder is clearly at the head of the modern death metal pack [and] they are just getting better.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nuclear Blast","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50497765376331,"sku":"2217961","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Human_Target_133023b3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727732170"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_026ca5c4_thumbnail_4096_c0d262bd-4aea-4713-aaa3-1264db3cdb46.jpg?v=1726421898","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/thy-art-is-murder.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
