Thy Art Is Murder

A hard-hitting Aussie deathcore unit, Blacktown's Thy Art Is Murder specializes in savage breakdowns and punishing, tech-heavy blasts of djent-fueled riffage. With the release of Hate in 2012, they became the first extreme metal group to reach the Top 40 on the ARIA charts. Subsequent efforts Holy War (2015) and Dear Desolation (2017), found favor internationally, charting in Canada and the United States. The band continued to refine its explosive, blackened death metal sound on 2023's Godlike. Formed in 2006 around the original lineup of vocalist Brendan Van Ryn, guitarists Gary Markowski and Sean Delander, bassist Josh King, and drummer Lee Stanton, the band issued a debut EP, Infinite Death, in 2008, which clawed its way into the Top Ten on the Australian independent charts. Van Ryn left the group shortly after the record's release, citing creative differences, and was replaced by Chris "CJ" McMahon from Sydney metalcore band Vegas in Ruins. After a flurry of lineup changes, the group headed into the studio to lay down tracks for their debut long-player, the Skull & Bones-issued The Adversary (2010). In 2012 the band released their sophomore studio LP, Hate, through Aussie independent label Halfcut, leading to a record deal with Nuclear Blast, which reissued the album the following year. The record charted in both the U.S. and Australia, and garnered mostly positive reviews, as did their third studio album, 2015's Will Putney-produced Holy War. The Depression Sessions, a vinyl-only split album with Fit for an Autopsy and the Acacia Strain, preceded the release of the group's fourth full-length effort, 2017's acclaimed Dear Desolation, which charted in eight countries. Following the announcement that founding drummer Lee Stanton had left the group, they promoted his fill-in, Jesse Beahler, to fill the role. Beahler made his first appearance as a bona fide Thy Art Is Murder member on their punishing 2019 effort, Human Target. Released independently on the band's own Human Warfare label, 2023's Godlike saw the group deliver an explosive set of songs that explored themes of carnage and discord amidst a post-modern dystopia.
