Thy Art Is Murder announce new album, European headlining tour in fall 2017

Australia's premiere extreme metal export, THY ART IS MURDER, have announced to release their fourth full-length record, entitled »Dear Desolation«, later this year.

Guitarist Andy Marsh explains the album title as follows: "»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."

Today the band also announces their European headlining tour for the upcoming studio album, kicking off on September 29 in Munich, Germany.

Commented the band: "We are super stoked to return to Europe, and this time with more UK dates than we have played in a very long time. For too long we have neglected the UK and we are going to make up for it in style. Joining us on our album headlining tour will be our great friends and ridiculously heavy bands, AFTER THE BURIAL, OCEANO, and Australian blackened hardcore juggernauts JUSTICE FOR THE DAMNED. We can’t wait to bring our new record to the road, and this will mark the very first leg of the »Dear Desolation« world tour."
