Thy Art Is Murder is the Human Target for the New Gods

As previously reported here at Stargazed Magazine, the Australian extreme metal act Thy Art Is Murder released their fifth album, “Human Target”, on July 26th. The album has been reviewed here and is now followed by the music video for the fourth single, ‘New Gods’. Directed by Elder and produced by Haus Party / Elder & Todd Farley, the meta conscious video providing commentary on the ‘New Gods’ can be viewed here:

Guitarist Andy Marsh comments, “‘New Gods’ is interwoven in theme with the song ‘Chemical Christ’, discussing the idea of mental health and modern inventions’ intervention with a natural state of consciousness. The idea that social media is one of the major driving forces of increasing levels of depression in the western world was fascinating to us, and we thought what better way to use the platform ironically to discuss these ideas than by using an aspect ratio designed specifically for it. We hope you watch the clip and then put your phone down, life is better through the eye of the beholder than the lens of an algorithm.”
