Australian extreme metal legends Thy Art Is Murder have released their wild new single, “Keres,” the second offering off of their upcoming album Godlike, which will be out on September 15 through Human Warfare.
Watch the official video of “Keres” on YouTube:
Thy Art Is Murder collection and guitarist Andy Marsh says why the band can’t wait to get the song out:
“It’s not often we have this level of excitement to present a new single to the world. 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.”
According to the press release:
The sixth explosive album in the band’s arsenal, Godlike cements Thy Art Is Murder as death metal’s modern torchbearers. A soundtrack to a divisive postmodern dystopia, Godlike sees Thy Art Is Murder explore new depths and dynamics without sacrificing an ounce of intensity or urgency the band have staked their career on.
