Biografía
Thy Art is Murder started in 2006 in Blacktown by vocalist vocalist Brendan van Ryn, guitarists Gary Markowski and Sean Delander, bassist Josh King and drummer Lee Stanton. They released their demo entitled “This Hole Isn’t Deep Enough for the Twelve of You” and released an EP in 2008 called “Infinite Death.” The band set out on extensive touring and after two years van Ryn departed the band; unfortunately it took a year for the band to find another lead singer, Chris “CJ” McMahon. Also, bassist Mick Lowe replaced King early in 2010.
On 16 July 2010 Thy Art is Murder released their first full-length album entitled “The Adversary.” In 2011 founding member and lead guitarist Gary Markowski departed from the band and Delander decided to switch from guitar to bass, making way for Andy Marsh and Tom Brown on guitar. After touring in Europe, the band went back into the studio to record “Hate” which they released on 18 October 2012. “Hate” debuted at number 35 on the Aria Charts and reached number 1 on AIR. After the release of the album, the band set out on tour and made a number of appearances at music festivals. In early 2014 the band made headlines when McMahon encouraged fans to get onstage during their set on Brisbane leg of theSoundwave Festival tour resulting in the band getting dropped from the tour. This however, did not stop their forward movement and they continued to travel and play their live gigs.
Críticas en vivo
Thy Art is Murder is a five-piece death core band from New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. They have earned themselves such a loyal following over the last decade almost.
They launch into half an hour of some of the heaviest music I’ve ever heard. It literally sounds like a nightmare, or what you would imagine the biggest zombie monster’s voice to sound like. That C.J. McMahon sure has a hefty roar on him. He spends most of the set stood on top of monitors. This opening song is lead by pretty mid tempo beat, complete with double kick drum beats performing some machine gun blasting beats, in perfect sync with the dual guitars and bass guitar. “Shadow of Eternal Sin” is borderline orchestral at the start but then comes to it’s heavy inevitable breakdown, with McMahons terrifyingly deep screams.
This music would be perfect in horror movies, and I’m actually quite surprised that there’s not that much of it in music these days to be honest. I mean a song with the title “Whore to a Chainsaw” says it all really doesn’t it.
After many years of enjoying and listening to thy art is murder and Emmure, I finally got to go see them in Perth at the rosemount hotel.
I really enjoyed the venue choice, especially for parking as I drive 2hrs.
The night, I though was an amazing experience and success, i enjoyed my night thoroughly!!
CJ's commentary was amazing and his sassiness is second to none.
will definitely see them again!
Thanks guys!!
THIS SHOW WAS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AMAZING! It was my 2nd time seeing Dying Fetus and Thy Art Is Murder within a few months of each other but then having both on the same day as well? Well shit that made the line up beyond awesome. The openers Enterprise Earth, Sanction, and local band Rip Open The Sky tore the place apart and did not disappoint at all!
The show was incredible, from start to finish. Every band showed up big : Oceano and After the Burial were amazing, Thy Art is Murder were godlike on stage and even local australian band Justice for the Damned put on a great show. The crowd went mad at each breakdown, it was incredible to be a part of!
One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to! The length of the concert made it so worth it (5ish hours). The breaks between different artists were short which meant we weren’t left without music for long. All bands gave an equally amazing performance and I would definitely see them all again :)
Fantastic show,they are good as they are in the studio. The whole crowd chanting Holy War was almost surreal, and even the crowd participation in songs such as The Purest Strain of Hate and the moshing in Slaves Beyond Death made the show fantastic. 10/10 would recommend.
Dude it was fucking phenomenal!! Thy Art Is Murder always puts on a fantastic show!! Got to meet CJ McMahon after the show that dude is super cool!! Not the first time I've seen them and I would definitely see them again!! Australia's fucking taking overrrrrr!!!!!!!!
