Thy Art Is Murder stream Holy War
Hear third album in full ahead of its European and North American release

Thy Art Is Murder have issued a stream of their third album Holy War.
It’ll be released in Europe on June 29 and North America the following day. They issued a promo for the track Light Bearer earlier this week.
Metal Hammer describe the follow-up to 2012’s Hate as their “best release to date – one that undoubtedly cements their name among the best death metal bands out there today.”
The band feature in the latest edition of the magazine where they discuss the influences behind the album and why they’re now appealing to the mainstream. It’s out now in print, digital and via TeamRock+.
Thy Art Is Murder will head out on a European tour in August.
