Thy Art Is Murder continue to decimate all in their path with their pulverising new single/video “Make America Hate Again”. The final piece of new music before the band release their forthcoming album, Human Target, on July 26 via Human Warfare, “Make America Hate Again” is a savage takedown of the entire political system, satirising the expectation that any government will make things “great” for the masses. Pre-order the album here

“Make America Hate Again” is a scathing critique of both sides of politics and the machinations at play to divide its citizens into teams of red or blue. Thy Art Is Murder are here to remind you your leaders are your enemies and it’s time to wake up and do something about it.

“Whilst we collectively identify as a left leaning band, this song was not written to attack those who sit on the right side of the political sphere, but as a commentary on the tactics employed by both campaigns in the most recent US presidential election. These crusades of social warfare would surely succeed in one result regardless of the victor, making people hate one another,” says guitarist Andrew Marsh.

“The blood lust of the political spectator, armed with Fox, CNN and an iPhone, was satiated with aggressive slander filled debate and fake radicalized propaganda masquerading as news, where both sides of the field rallied to provoke. Identity politics spread like the wildfires of California, smoking out people of all creeds to be branded red or blue.

“Those on the regressive left may indeed have as much to answer for as their far right opponents for creating a heaving divide in the space of public discourse, and a sustaining sense of animosity among communities around America and abroad.

“Polarizing leaders like Trump are, in part, a result of who we have become. Disconnected.”

Right before Thy Art Is Murder release Human Target, the band will tear down the east coast of Australia for a quick run of sold out headline shows before heading back to Europe. Joining them on the Life In The Crosshairs Tour will be Justice For The Damned, Dealer and Wither.
