Thy Art Is Murder: Hate

Thy Art Is Murder: Hate
  "Hate" demonstrates unprecedented aggression. If the latest release by Australian Death-Core crew, Thy Art Is Murder, had a safety warning it would read something like, "Warning. May cause burst eardrums, brain hemorrhages, broken necks, felonious aggression and shredded vocal chords".
   The title "Hate" goes a long way to describing the sound of the album. Hate is often associated with anger and violence, which Thy Art Is Murder appear to be specialists in. This might be a young band, but with albums of this quality it wont be long before they are a world famous Metal establishment. 
   Death-core may be seen as one of the most repetitive and generic sub-genres, but that certainly doesn't mean that there isn't some truly amazing acts within those confines. Certain  elements of other successful Death-core outfits can be heard on Hate. Bands like Bleeding Through and Upon A Burning Body may have been an influence. Even if Thy Art Is Murder didn't take inspiration from those bands, you are exposed to those trademark brutal machine-gun riffs from the very start.  
   The opening track of "Reign Of Darkness" is by far one of the greatest tracks on the album. Other gems such as "Shadows Of Eternal Sin" and "Dead Sun" are choice cuts of pure hate filled brutality. Thy Art Is Murder are clearly on course to meet great success, and with albums as flawless as Hate it is obvious why.

Thanks for reading!!!

    Not bad, I reviewed this for ParaReviews when it came out in Australia/leaked online back in October, but it's nice to see a second opinon. I have a lot of love for this band and album, the vocals especially are fucking fierce, I've shredded my vocal chords a couple of times trying to match CJ, especially when I caught them live in Feb. Good work.

      Thank you fellow Metal-head! There is no doubt that the unquestionable talent of Thy Art Is Murder will result in shredded vocal chords for many more years to come \m/

EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA

  EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA         The Thrash Metal hierarchy has long been constructed around the mainstream success of the American "Big Four", dwarfing their peers outside of the clique with their mass popularity and stratospheric record sales. Thanks to bands such as Exodus, Testament and Overkill, a revolution has begun. The most recent releases from those bands comprising the Big Four have been good at best, while the latest albums from these previously mentioned outsiders have been breathtakingly excellent.    Persona Non Grata is a crushingly heavy slab of solid Thrash Metal. Gary Holt and fellow guitarist Lee Altus whip up a veritable storm of crunchy, Thrashing, whiplash-inducing riffs from start to finish. A superhuman barrage of drum battery is unleashed by Tom Hunting, accompanied by Jack Gibson's booming, thundering and raking bass notes. All the while Steve Souza sings, screams and snarls like a rabid and possessed vocal maestro....

MASSACRE: RESURGENCE

  MASSACRE: RESURGENCE      Like the walking dead, Massacre just keep coming back time after time. Refusing to stay down, this band simply won't die. To survive, Massacre takes on a new form every ascension, this time they have re-emerged as the Kam Lee band, with the legendary vocalist being the most consistent and regular member of the band over the years and through the numerous reformations.   The Massacre that we are faced with here on Resurgence could be considered as something of a Death-Metal supergroup. Comprising the band alongside Kam Lee; we have Mike Borders on bass guitar whom was previously a member of the band for short spell in the mid 1980's, alongside Jonny Pettersson of Wombbath (and countless other bands and projects) and Rogga Johansson of Paganizer (and possibly even more bands and projects than Jonny) on guitars, Brynjar Helgetun on drums, and Memoriam's resident riff-lord Scott Fairfax providing lead guitar. United this band of talented ...

NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021

  NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021     Despite lockdowns, travel restrictions and the cancellation of normality as a result of an ever present global pandemic, 2021 has been a very healthy year for heavy music. With the cancellation and indefinite postponement of tours, festivals and live music in general, bands and artists have been forced to explore alternative avenues and express their artistic visions and passions in other ways. The down time away from the road has left bands with schedules empty enough to write and record new material, some of which has proven to be exceptionally strong new albums, EPs and compilations. The phenomena of the "lockdown live album" as well as live streaming events and virtual concerts have also become a commonplace staple in many band's discography, showing defiantly that COVID-19 and the consequent restrictions enforced will never suffocate the breath of creativity or shroud the light of the soul. Making the be...
