The band currently consists of vocalist Tyler Miller of Aversions Crown, guitarists Sean Delander and Andy Marsh, drummer Jesse Beahler and bassist Kevin Butler.They have released six full-length albums and three EPs to date, with Godlike being their newest album released on September 22.
Following the recent decade anniversary celebration of the band’s seminal release, Hate, Thy Art Is Murder is now ready to turn the page on their next chapter with the confirmation of their sixth full length album, Godlike. Setting a September 15th release date, the deathcore veterans have again teamed with longtime producer and frequent collaborator Will Putney to curate a 10-track presentation that explores the boundaries of extreme metal while showcasing superior songwriting and unrelenting intensity. The album also marks the band’s very first independently released campaign, with the arrival of Godlike anchoring the band’s own label, Human Warfare.
Although Godlike was scheduled to release on the September 15, the album was pushed back by a week due to unforseen circumstances. On the release of Godlike, Thy Art Is Murder fired vocalist CJ McMahon, completely removed his vocals from the album, and re-recorded them with an unknown vocalist. According to a statement from the band, the split is partially due to McMahon's recent anti-trans comments, which they note were only a symptom of a larger problem.
Their second album, Hate, debuted at no. 35 on the ARIA Charts, making them the first extreme metal band to ever reach the Top 40 on the chart, while Holy War debuted at no. 7, the highest-ever position for an Australian extreme metal act.
Vocalist CJ McMahon mentioned in interviews with Bluestribute TV and Aggressive Tendencies that the band, individually, has different inspirations and musicians that influence their particular writing and performance style. He added that the band all together are influenced by bands like Decapitated, Gojira, Meshuggah, and Behemoth. The band have frequently cited Behemoth as a major influence on their style whom McMahon has referred to as "the best band on this planet.'' Guitarist Andy Marsh has said that "We are big fans of music that can evoke a feeling and mood, but often that music isn’t very in your face and heavy. Behemoth are amazing at capturing that synergy in just the right way and it is that ethos that inspires us." The band's second album, Hate, expresses the band's dislike of organized religion, while the band's third full-length album, Holy War, discusses a range of themes, from their anti-religion and anti-extremism to animal rights, war, and greed.
