Thy Art Is Murder

Australian extreme metal band, THY ART IS MURDER, have been making an unmistakeable impression in the underground metal scene since their initial conception in late 2005. They have headlined countless sold out live performances, sold over 10000 copies of their releases, received over 2 million 'fan video' plays on 'YouTube' and around 2 million music plays on their 'MYSPACE' profile, and have over 40000 'Facebook' fans.
Originally forming out of Sydney's western suburbs with members all around 15 years of age, this incredibly hard working 5 piece band released a 3-track demo entitled "This Hole Isn't Deep Enough For The Twelve Of You" in early 2007 and began playing local shows, quickly becoming renowned for their unrivalled highly energetic and uncompromising live performances. After independently touring the east coast of Australia, they returning home to write and record their infamous debut EP, "Infinite Death", which was released in August 2008 to an overwhelming response, achieving a top 10 chart position on the AIR charts and selling out its initial pressing within weeks.
After the release of their EP, THY ART IS MURDER received a huge explosion of popularity online with a massive amount of activity and plays on their official'MYSPACE'profile. The EP, and specifically the song "Whore To A Chainsaw", became a huge underground hit worldwide and garnered them substantial local and overseas attention. The release was promoted extensively over the next annum with the band headlining several successful tours, gaining them a huge fan-base nationally around Australia.
Early 2010 saw THY ART IS MURDER commence self-production of their debut full-length album. On its release in late July 2010, "The Adversary" sold over 2000 copies in its first week and shortly after the band embarked on a largely sold-out launch tour around Australia. After several more of their own, they joined the very successful 'MISTAKE CLOTHING' tour with CONFESSION, followed shortly by supporting DESPISED ICON on their national Australian farewell run, then finishing the year with THE RED SHORE on their national album release. This extensive live coverage solidified their position as one of the most popular modern metal acts in Australia.
THY ART IS MURDER spent the majority of 2011 continuing to focus their sonic live assault on their home territories, including the second 'MISTAKE CLOTHING' tour and a national run with main support coming from Germany's WAR FROM A HARLOTS MOUTH. Late in 2011, they locked themselves away and commenced writing and rehearsing material for their sophomore album. A pre-production demo song entitled "Infinite Forms" was posted online which showcases a more mature and focused song writing approach while still retaining the brutality, heaviness and unharnessed aggression of their previous material.
THY ART IS MURDER are touring all over Europe and the UK in March 2012 with AS BLOOD RUNS BLACK, WAR FROM A HARLOTS MOUTH and I, THE BREATHER before heading directly to the USA and commencing production of their new full length record in April with renowned producer WILL PUTNEY at THE MACHINE SHOP in New Jersey
