Australian deathcore enthusiasts Thy Art is Murder just released their latest album Holy War via Nuclear Blast, which you can stream right now in its entirety, but the band still thinks they can get your attention in a more creative way by unveiling a music video for the title track “Holy War.”


Just like the controversial album cover previously intended to be used, the video features a rather vexed topic for many people, including the depiction of members of the terrorist group ISIS decapitating people, US military performing waterboarding and other forms of torture and, again, kids with bombs strapped on.

The band is on North American soil performing at the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival, which kicked off this past weekend  and will continue its trek at the following dates:

Black Metal enthusiast from Los Angeles who thought was a good idea to grab a camera and shoot underground shows for the hell of it. Pseudo-writer with little to no expectations of ever winning a Pulitzer but totally down to write about your unknown band if it's good to my ears. I enjoy long walks on the beach, deep conversation, holding hands and attending Satanic music shows every now and then.
