Still relatively fresh from their split with vocalist CJ McMahon, Australian deathcore outfit Thy Art is Murder have announced a North American tour. Nick Arthur of Molotov Solution filled in during their last tour with Parkway Drive- but there’s no word yet who will fill McMahon’s shoes this time around.
It’s pretty surprising that a band who hasn’t announced a new vocalist yet continues to tour. Then again, it was pretty shocking to see McMahon exit mid-tour and just after the release of their latest album, Holy War. Speculations aside, this tour is shaping up to be pretty sweet. Rings of Saturn, Dark Sermon and Fit For An Autopsy will join them on this tour, which they’re calling “Coffin Dragger” (if you don’t remember, was the single off Holy War).
