Australia’s extreme metal titans Thy Art Is Murder have released their storming new single, Keres, the second taste of new music lifted from the band’s forthcoming album, Godlike, out September 15 via Human Warfare.
A stadium-sized death metal anthem, Keres has it all: bone-crushing verses, colossal stomping choruses, an urgent guitar solo, and frontman CJ McMahon‘s vocals demolishing all in his wake as he rams that hook straight into your brain.
Keres is an absolute standout in the Thy Art Is Murder collection and guitarist Andy Marsh explains why the band can’t wait to get it out there. “It’s not often we have this level of excitement to present a new single to the world,” he states. “‘Keres’ is a metal anthem filled with grinding verses and stomping choruses, stripping down some of the complexity that may have gotten in the way of previous attempts to deliver a song of this magnitude. The Keres was an evil sprite in ancient Greek mythology that would feed on the dead, but could not participate in acts of violence. We think this behavior is as relevant in the arena of news and politics as it was on those ancient battlefields.”
