Junz hard, and yeah there are plenty of breakdowns but it's a deathcore record what do you expect? However, I really enjoy the use of melody on this record. There's also more variation here than on Hate.

Excellent vocals, well-used breakdowns, a ton of great riffs and even some nice bursts of melody. This is deathcore done right.

Haven't heard this yet but I have a feeling its Hate 2.0 with some added elements. Am I right, sput users?

This used melody more than I would have expected but I don't think it was that well done. It also over uses breakdowns, which is even worse because there isn't much low end making them both boring and lifeless

In some ways it is Hate 2.0 but with some small differences. You can hear the emotion in CJ's vocals as well as some nice atmospherics through out too.

At this point in time, Thy Art Is Murder are doing their job well for the filthiest of deities. Having begun their career as your run-of-the-mill deathcore act with laughably trite, misogynistic lyrics and a remotely cool vocalist in Brendan van Ryn, these Aussies would go on to evolve and adjust their musical style. As luck would have it, their latest record Holy War is a slightly awesome, yet also sort of predictable beast that doesn't disappoint when it comes to both brutality as well as uniformity. Instrumentally sharp and vicious, the guitar playing is fat enough to humor a mummy's walrus, and the vocals supplied by frontman CJ McMahon are serviceable and have the power of ocassionally adding to this album's pessimistic, yet surprisingly perceptive atmosphere. Not much else can be said about Holy War other than how entertaining TAIM's third studio offering makes itself out to be. Oh, and the uncensored cover art is quite ridiculous, but once context is taken into account, it is appropriate.

Brief explanation;rThy Art Is Murder's sophomore LP took the element of their previous record, Hate, but added a wider variety of vocals and instrumentation, more original rifts and breakdowns, as well as hitting on harder topics lyrically.
