THY ART IS MURDER With Special Guests GRAVES, I, VALIANCE AND DRIVEN TO THE VERGE
Australia’s premiere extreme metal crew Thy Art Is Murder will be back on home soil to destroy all the venues they’ve been neglecting (and some new ones too) while they’ve been on the frontline spreading Holy War to far-flung corners of the world during the Coffin Dragger Tour. The third leg will see Graves and I, Valiance jump in the van with Thy Art Is Murder for an Australian tour of sheer brutality.
Joining Thy Art Is Murder on vocals will be Lochan Watt – the host of triple j’s The Racket. Watt’s pipes endured a vigorous initiation during the US leg of the Coffin Dragger tour which took in 39-dates around the country.
Rising from the unhallowed wastes of Western Sydney, extreme metal outfit Thy Art Is Murder have carved a trail of bloody mayhem since their inception in 2006. With an acclaimed EP and and three albums to their name, 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 who’s who of heavy metal.
Thy Art Is Murder’s most recent album, Holy War, debuted at #7 on the ARIA Chart – the highest ever position for an extreme metal act – a feat they’ve scored twice. Always stoking controversy and criticism, the band refuse to tone down their art for the sake of palatability which has seen Holy War generate a wave of controversy for the strong anti-religious stance of the title track’s video, as well as the album cover which features references to a suicide bomber.
