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.

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.
ReplyDeleteThank 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/
