Album Review: Thy Art Is Murder – Hate

Posted on by

taim hateAussie deathcore band Thy Art Is Murder have just released their newest album simply entitled “Hate” and it’s a massive punch to the senses. Of course, if you enjoy deathcore, this is a given and is probably already your favorite album of 2013. It’s angrier Whitechapel, it’s atmospheric homicidal music as it creates crime scene after crime scene of blood and guts. “Hate” is just that, pure fucking rage, hatred and fury. These guys take a a genre and ignite a flame under it’s ass and provide some neat twists. It’s not a technical mindfuck like Rings of Saturn, but it’s catchy as hell and it’s thirty six minutes of great headbang material.

summer slaughter

Rings of Saturn and Thy Art Is Murder were in a neck and neck battle for the opening spot for this years Summer Slaughter Tour. The battle was exciting and tons of fans on either side talked a massive amount of shit on the other band and vice versa. However, the voting process was a true nail biter and Rings of Saturn came out on top with only a 1% victory!!! Both bands deserved the spot in my eyes, but I’ve seen a ton of backlash and butthurt since the official announcement. Congratulations to Rings of Saturn! support both bands.

Trent Reznor announces the return of NINE INCH NAILS

NIN 2013

While I’m not the biggest NIN fan, I do enjoy a ton of his/their work. My wife is going to flip her shit when she hears about this news. I’d love to go see NIN together with her. Here is the statement from Trent:

Nine Inch Nails are touring this year.

 

I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas, which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which (many steps later) led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show. Calls were made to some friends, lots of new ideas were discussed, and a show was booked – which led to another, which somehow led to a lot of shows.

 

The band is reinventing itself from scratch and will be comprised of Eric Avery, Adrian Belew, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Ilan Rubin, and me. The first shows will begin this summer, followed by a full-on arena tour of the US this fall, and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014.

 

Lots of details and dates to come. See you soon.

Listen To BAAL

Baal

So I was recently lucky enough to have some blackened thrash sent my way. Think of BAAL as Goatwhore with bad production values. You don’t need Erik Rutan production to appreciate the seething headbanging evil coming from these guys. When they aren’t raping your ears with threatening riffs and blasts, they tone down the tempo and blow you away even further with ambient black metal pieces on par with the best post-black metal and SDBM acts. The writing is dark and it’s true black metal. Be sure to check them out!
