Watch Thy Art Is Murder's new video for Make America Hate Again
Aussie brutalists Thy Art Is Murder have just dropped a new video for Make America Hate Again.
Taken from the band's upcoming fifth album Human Target, it's a rather hostile, aggressive take down of the United States political system.
"'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," says guitarist Andy Marsh. "These crusades of social warfare would surely succeed in one result regardless of the victor, making people hate one another.
"The bloodlust of the political spectator – armed with Fox, CNN and an iPhone – was satiated with aggressive slander filled debate and fake radicalised 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 as 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.
"Polarising leaders like Trump are, in part, a result of who we have become. Disconnected."
Thy Art Is Murder's upcoming album Human Target is due for release July 26 via Nuclear Blast Records.
