Australia’s incendiary extreme musical export, THY ART IS MURDER, commence on their conquest of North America today alongside PARKWAY DRIVE! To celebrate, the band has released a lyric video for the track "Violent Reckoning", here: https://youtu.be/WOMOHOM1n2g. The track comes from the THY ART OF MURDER's latest album Holy War.
Produced and mixed by Will Putney (SUICIDE SILENCE, EXHUMED, THE ACACIA STRAIN), Holy War is the band’s second release for Nuclear Blast Entertainment. The controversial album cover and packaging photos were shot by the band’s long time photographer and friend, Thomas Savage.
