Arriving with the sole aim of putting you on your arse, Australian titans of the heavy Thy Art Is Murder have released the title track from their upcoming album entitled ‘Human Target’. Set for release on the 26th of July, the follow up to 2017’s ‘Dear Desolation’ was produced, engineered, mixed an mastered by Fit For An Autopsy guitarist and studio engineer Will Putney at New Jersey’s Graphic Nature Audio.
In speaking about the title track, guitarist Andy Marsh stated that, ‘’Human Target’ was the last song written for the album as I felt we lacked an opening track to set the mood and provide the impact for what was to come’.
Continuing, ‘Human organ harvesting had been brought to my attention as a serious matter that wasn’t receiving much coverage – or not enough for me to hear about it – and I thought the issue required more scrutiny and awareness.
To distill the metaphors of proletariat subjugation down to the visceral injustice of taking away the engines of life, seemed to be a powerful atmosphere to open the record’.
Already shaping up to be a massive record, be sure to catch the album on the 26th of July and look out for their return to Europe later in the year.
