THY ART IS MURDER furiously charges once more unto the breach, clawing and spitting against the dying light and a seemingly inevitable collapse of existence. »Dear Desolation«, the Australian metal crew’s fourth and mightiest album, is a devastating blow equally against and embracing of a cataclysmic nihilism and all-out misanthropic warfare. Combining classic and authentic death metal elements that invoke the renegade, spirit-crushing, monstrosity of early MORBID ANGEL, CANNIBAL CORPSE, and DECAPITATED with the precision rhythmic assault of MESHUGGAH and the breakdown-infused bounce of THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, THY ART IS MURDER have redefined a once cast aside and maligned subgenre, proudly reenergizing and representing the best in extremity.
