Aussie Metal Titans Thy Art Is Murder have announced a UK Tour for this October. Guitarist Andrew Marsh commented: "We are super stoked to return to Europe, and this time with more UK dates than we have played in a very long time. For too long we have neglected the UK and we are going to make up for it in style. Joining us on our album headlining tour will be our great friends and ridiculously heavy bands, After The Burial, Oceano, and Australian blackened hardcore juggernauts Justice For The Damned. We can’t wait to bring our new record to the road, and this will mark the very first leg of the Dear Desolation world tour." - Andrew Marsh The band; freshly reunited with original frontman CJ McMahon will release their fourth album later this Summer.

Its six tracks, clocking at 49 minutes, perfectly represent band's brutally heavy, atmospheric and beautiful soundscape. Red Moon Architect has also released a new music video of the title track "Return Of The Black Butterflies". It's the last video release of this album and tells the haunting story with over six minutes of crushing doom. Watch "Return Of The Black Butterflies" video on Youtube: http://youtu.be/KVw55N9Nf68 The album was recorded, produced and mixed by the band's mastermind Saku Moilanen at Deep Noise Studios. It is mastered by Juho Räihä at Soundspiral Audio.

The album breaks a three-year silence following the band's 2014 7-inch Waelwulf. Heresiarch first emerged from the depths in 2011 with the Dark Descent Records-backed release Hammer of Intransigence. Experience the band's evolution with No Clean Singing's exclusive premiere of "Storming Upon Knaves." Listen at: http://www.nocleansinging.com/2017/05/12/an-ncs-premiere-heresiarch-storming-upon-knaves/ Dark Descent Records will release Death Ordinance July 7 on CD and digital formats. Vinyl treatment to follow. "Those who flee the hammer, shall abide the forge" Death Ordinance is set in a future ravaged by 30 years of war, global societies have collapsed into anarchic warfare between tribal bands. Following nuclear warfare and EMP's, remnants of technology are repurposed solely for conflict. Regression becomes progress as oppression and power struggle with natural law and imminent extinction. What remains of humanity struggles in the vestiges, the final lineage impotent and malformed, for the scraps of a dying world. The album documents the twilight of existence through three movements the onset as "Consecrating Fire" and concluding with "Desert of Ash". Each song is deliberate with serving a purpose compositionally as well as with the lyrical narrative. "Senses heightened, survival preceeds morality..." Tove Styrke is set to play a hotly anticipated UK show at Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen on June 12th. The gig – the first since releasing her brand new single ‘Say My Name’ – is presented by The Line Of Best Fit. She said: "This will be my first show in one and a half years and I’m beyond excited! It’s so great that I get to do this in London. Last time was such a turnout, I really can’t wait to get back. I’ve put together a new band and it sounds better than ever. It’s going to be a mix of old and new material. You’ll love it!” Tove’s comeback single ‘Say My Name’ has already received critical acclaim from the likes of NME, BBC, Pigeons And Planes and NYLON, and was Radio 1 Greg James’ Tune of the Week last week.
