* Festival appearances

In November 2024, THY ART IS MURDER released a new single, "Through Blood I Purify". The track marked the first song written and recorded with the band's new singer Tyler Miller, who was previously a member of fellow Australian metallers AVERSIONS CROWN.

THY ART IS MURDER's latest album, 2023's "Godlike", was originally written and recorded with with longtime vocalist Chris "CJ" McMahon before Miller took over as the frontman and re-recorded the vocal tracks.

THY ART IS MURDER's September 27, 2023 show at the Turbinenhalle 2 in Oberhausen, Germany marked the band's first appearance with Miller.

The news of Miller's addition to THY ART IS MURDER came less than a week after the band parted ways with McMahon.

The split between THY ART IS MURDER and McMahon happened a month after he deleted (and subsequently reinstated) his social media due to the backlash he received for posting an allegedly transphobic comment on Instagram. The following day, the other members of THY ART IS MURDER posted a trans flag on Instagram in solidarity with the community. "Setting the record straight, we stand with you," the band wrote.

On September 22, 2023, THY ART IS MURDER shared a statement on social media confirming that McMahon had been fired from the band, and that his contributions to "Godlike" album had been removed.

McMahon joined THY ART IS MURDER back in 2009 after the band's previous vocalist, Brendan Van Ryn, quit the previous year.
