News : Thy Art Is Murder announce Australian headline tour

By on June 10, 2014

Fresh off the highly successful Free Your Mind tour with Northlane, Veil of Maya, Volumes and Make Them Suffer, Sydney deathcore giants Thy Art Is Murder have already announced a home coming tour for December, this time being a headlining tour.

The band has had nothing but success since 2012 when their second album ‘Hate’ came out. After crashing into the Top 40 on the ARIA chart, the band embarked on headline and supporting tours in Australia and all over US and Europe, including the Summer Slaughter Festival in the US, and Soundwave Festival in Australia (which sparked a bit of controversy). Thy Art Is Murder have just left for another run of the US and Europe, which includes spots on the European festival circuit, such as Download Festival in the UK.

A term like “extreme metal” tends to make the uninitiated shy away, but that’s not to say their method of madness isn’t to be enjoyed by all: A Day To Remember rave about them to anyone in earshot, The Dillinger Escape Plan cannot get enough of them, appearances at festivals like Graspop Metal Meet in Belgium, Download in the UK, South By So What, Summer Slaughter and the prestigious New England Metalfest in North America are proof of this. Off the festival stage, sold out shows the length and breadth of North America, Europe, the UK and Asia only serve to add credence to rumours of their intense live show.

After stoking controversy by (allegedly) starting a riot at the Brisbane leg of this year’s Soundwave Festival, touring with friends Northlane in May and kicking off an extensive US and European tour this week, THY ART IS MURDER have unveiled their largest Australian headline run to date. Support acts will be revealed in good time, and you can guarantee they will combine to create the spiciest heavy metal enchilada known to mankind.
