Thy Art Is Murder have released a video for their new track titled The Son Of Misery.

It’s been lifted from the Australian outfit’s upcoming album Dear Desolation which arrives on August 18 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment.

The record sees the return of frontman CJ McMahon who quit in 2015. He returned earlier this year, making a surprise appearance onstage with the band at the Unify Festival in January.

McMahon said: “I feel the strongest I’ve ever felt going into a record. Coming back to the fold of our band has reinvigorated me. I missed my brothers, touring, and of course all our dedicated fans around the world who have always given us their all.

“This new record is going to shape our future – we gave it everything we could and then some. In the past, I was the weakest link and now that I have rebuilt myself, we are stronger than ever and nothing can stand in our way.”

Guitarist Andy Marsh added: “Hate, War, Desolation – the trilogy series of the path mankind has laid out before himself. We are prouder than ever of our efforts on this record.

“A lot of time, planning, creativity and teamwork has culminated in what we think is our most completed vision yet: Dear Desolation.”

Thy Art Is Murder are about to embark on a tour in support of the new album. Find further information below.
