THY ART IS MURDER Release Fourth Studio Album ‘Dear Desolation’
August 18th, 2017

Sydney, Australia-based deathcore group Thy Art Is Murder issued fourth full-length studio album Dear Desolation on August 18th, 2017 through Nuclear Blast Entertainment.

Guitarist Andy Marsh shared the following regarding the album’s title: “Dear Desolation was the easiest way to sum up the new record, and some of the issues we talked about. With lyrics ranging from extinction level events, to mortality’s interaction with morality, Dear Desolation seemed like an appropriate address toward nothingness, a call into the abyss from which we might not hear an answer.”

Dear Desolation was produced, engineered, mixed and mastered by Will Putney at Graphic Nature Audio in Belleville, New Jersey.

Cover artwork was created by Eliran Kantor.

The track listing is as follows:

01. ‘Slaves Beyond Death’
02. ‘The Son Of Misery’
03. ‘Puppet Master’
04. ‘Dear Desolation’
05. ‘Death Dealer’
06. ‘Man Is The Enemy’
07. ‘The Skin Of The Serpent’
08. ‘Fire In The Sky’
09. ‘Into Chaos We Climb’
10. ‘The Final Curtain’

Thy Art Is Murder’s line-up was as follows;

C.J. McMahon (vocals)
Andy Marsh (guitars)
Sean Delander (guitars)
Kevin Butler (bass)
Lee Stanton (drums)

Music videos were filmed for the tracks ‘Slaves Beyond Death’, ‘The Son Of Misery’ and ‘Puppet Master’, while a live footage music video was also released for the latter. All four clips can be viewed below.
