Arriving in October of 2012, ‘Hate’ was a landmark release for Thy Art Is Murder. It debuted at number 35 on the ARIA Charts, making them the first extreme metal band to break the charts’ top 40, and earned them their first ARIA nomination (for Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album). Reflecting on ‘Hate’ in an Instagram post recently, the band called it “an album that took us around the world more times than we ever thought possible”.

Since then, Thy Art Is Murder have released three more albums – 2015’s ‘Holy War’, 2017’s ‘Dear Desolation’ and ‘Human Target’ in 2019.

Thy Art Is Murder’s ‘Decade of Hate’ 2023 Australian tour dates are:

JANUARY
Thursday 12 – Brisbane, Tivoli
Friday 13 – Sydney, Roundhouse
Saturday 14 – Melbourne, Forum
Tuesday 17 – Adelaide, Hindley St Music Hall
