THY ART IS MURDER Part Ways With Vocalist CJ McMahon<\/strong><\/span>
\nDecember 21st, 2015<\/strong><\/span>
\n
\nSydney, Australia-based deathcore group Thy Art Is Murder parted ways with vocalist CJ McMahon following a six-year tenure, revealing this development on December 21st, 2015.<\/p>\n

Thy Art Is Murder issued the following statement: \u201cAfter much conjecture and ambiguity on his behalf, it is with a heavy heart that we must announce today that CJ is no longer a part of Thy Art Is Murder.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have worked so hard from day one to make this band what it is now and develop the reputation that we have and he had been there with us every step of the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe like to think that even if someone doesn\u2019t like our music that they can at least respect our work ethic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis band has taken us to places we never thought we would see and to share stages with many bands we never thought we would get to play with or meet, let alone call friends. It is unfortunate that with our best year to date and our biggest paved out before us that he has decided to leave.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll this being said, touring as hard as we do does take its toll on you physically, but, more importantly, mentally and emotionally.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are an underground metal band and have been so fortunate over the last two years to carve out a small income thanks to so many dedicated and generous fans around the world. For some people, it comes to a turning point in their life where that income is no longer enough for their personal goals, and that point has come for CJ.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to wish him all our best as he leaves the band and moves onward to start a family and new life with his loving fianc\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe four of us are continuing forward into 2016 for some of the biggest and best tours of our lives. We won\u2019t be slowing down or missing any shows. We head back out next month with Parkway Drive and Architects throughout Europe and the UK and will be taking one of our favourite vocalists with us, Nick Arthur from Molotov Solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThy Art is what we have done with all of our adult lives and we have put absolutely everything we have into the band and the friendship between the four of us. That friendship and drive to create extreme music is what has kept us together through thick and thin. Unfortunately, not everyone can share this fire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vocalist from 2009 to 2015, CJ McMahon lent vocals to Thy Art Is Murder\u2019s inaugural three full-lengths; The Adversary<\/em> (2010), Hate<\/em> (2012), and Holy War<\/em> (2015).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
