Australia's extreme metal export Thy Art Is Murder have just announced to release their fourth full-length record, entitled Dear Desolation, later this year via Nuclear Blast which sees the return of frontman CJ McMahon. Moreover, the band also announces their European headlining tour for the upcoming studio album, kicking off on September 29th in Munich, Germany. After The Burial, Oceano and Justice For The Damned will accompany them.

Guitarist Andy Marsh explains the album title as follows: "Dear Desolation was the easiest way to sum up the new record, and some of the issues we talked about. With lyrics ranging from extinction level events, to mortality's interaction with morality, Dear Desolation seemed like an appropriate address toward nothingness, a call into the abyss from which we might not hear an answer."
