Here, the Australian deathcore Metallers pick out some of their extreme Metal tour bus essential listening, as well as sharing their funny story about Behemoth's mainman Nergal.
Thy Art Is Murder vocalist CJ McMahon told us about 'Dear Desolation':
"I feel the strongest I've ever felt going into a record. Coming back to the fold of our band has reinvigorated me. I missed my brothers, touring, and of course all our dedicated fans around the world who have always given us their all.
"This new record is going to shape our future; we gave it everything we could and then some. In the past, I was the weakest link and now that I have re-built myself, we are stronger than ever and nothing can stand in our way."
The band have already shared the guitar playthrough for the epic track 'The Son Of Misery'. The clip demonstrates the sheer mastery of guitarist Andy Marsh. Here is in case you missed it first time around:
