Thy Art Is Murder have released a video trailer for their upcoming album Dear Desolation.
The record sees the return of frontman CJ McMahon who quit the Australian outfit in 2015. He returned earlier this year, making a surprise appearance onstage with the band at the Unify Festival in January.
It’ll be released on August 18 via Nuclear Blast.
The eerie trailer features the sound of a ticking clock, while slow motion footage, including shots of the band in the studio, are gradually revealed.
A caption reads: “At first, man became enthralled with hate. Divided, the war began. These are the remnants.”
On his return to Thy Art Is Murder, 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 re-built myself, we are stronger than ever and nothing can stand in our way.”
Thy Art Is Murder launched a video for Slaves Beyond Death in June and will head out on the road in support of the new album later this month.
