Thy Art Is Murder continue to decimate all in their path with their pulverising new single/video “Make America Hate Again”. The final piece of new music before the band release their forthcoming album, Human Target, on July 26 via Human Warfare, “Make America Hate Again” is a savage takedown of the entire political system, satirising the expectation that any government will make things “great” for the masses.

“Make America Hate Again” is a scathing critique of both sides of politics and the machinations at play to divide its citizens into teams of red or blue. Thy Art Is Murder are here to remind you your leaders are your enemies and it’s time to wake up and do something about it.
“Whilst we collectively identify as a left leaning band, this song was not written to attack those who sit on the right side of the political sphere, but as a commentary on the tactics employed by both campaigns in the most recent US presidential election. These crusades of social warfare would surely succeed in one result regardless of the victor, making people hate one another,” says guitarist Andrew Marsh.
“The blood lust of the political spectator, armed with Fox, CNN and an iPhone, was satiated with aggressive slander filled debate and fake radicalized propaganda masquerading as news, where both sides of the field rallied to provoke. Identity politics spread like the wildfires of California, smoking out people of all creeds to be branded red or blue.
“Those on the regressive left may indeed have as much to answer for as their far right opponents for creating a heaving divide in the space of public discourse, and a sustaining sense of animosity among communities around America and abroad.
“Polarizing leaders like Trump are, in part, a result of who we have become. Disconnected.”

The fifth full-length from Thy Art Is Murder follows the blistering Dear Desolation (2017), which debuted in the ARIA Top 5 – the highest chart debut from a homegrown extreme metal act. They continue along an evolutionary trajectory charted by The Depression Sessions, an unprecedented collaborative album with The Acacia Strain and Fit For An Autopsy. That project arrived after the uncompromising Holy War (2015), Hate (2012), and The Adversary (2010). Across their discography, Thy Art Is Murder have an accumulated 45 million views on Youtube, over 13 million of them for “Reign of Darkness” alone.
Thy Art Is Murder’s thinking-person’s blackened death metal has challenged and inspired audiences around the globe, from top-tier genre festivals like Download, Graspop, Hellfest, and Summer Breeze; to high-profile tours supporting Parkway Drive, Meshuggah, Architects and Killswitch Engage. It has also has earned them a place in the Top 50 Most Popular Metal Bands Right Now, a list compiled by a popular metal blog (based on worldwide page views) that puts Thy Art Is Murder among Metallica, Slipknot, Slayer, Megadeth, Ghost, and Iron Maiden.
Right before Thy Art Is Murder release Human Target, the band will tear down the east coast of Australia for a quick run of sold out headline shows before heading back to Europe. Joining them on the Life In The Crosshairs Tour will be Justice For The Damned, Dealer and Wither.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
