Thy Art is Murder have parted ways with Chris "CJ" McMahon
Australian deathcore heavyweights Thy Art is Murder announced today via the band's Instagram that vocalist Chris "CJ" McMahon was "no longer a part of Thy Art is Murder and does not feature on the record". This news broke on the same day that the band released their sixth full-length album, Godlike, via Human Warfare.
This announcement comes on the heels of recent controversial social media posts made by McMahon back in August where he reposted a video from Matt Walsh depicting a mother questioning her child about their gender. McMahon commented that the mother in the reposted video "should be burned to death.". The post quickly garnered backlash, leading to McMahon deleting the post and claiming he would be "going off social media for good". A day later, the remaining members of Thy Art Is Murder took to Instagram to express their support for trans rights and condemn McMahon's comment. A few days later, McMahon would release his own statement seen below.
"Hey guys, CJ here, just wanted to make this video to apologize to everybody that's been upset and offended by the video that I shared and commented horribly on Instagram a few days ago. My intentions weren't to be transphobic in any way, shape or form. And now it's gotten to the point that it really doesn't matter what my intentions were.
I apologize to the LGBTQ+ community and their allies and the people that support them. And I thought I did support them, but obviously my video that I shared and commented horribly on has proved otherwise. To my friends that I have that are trans, please don't take this as me being transphobic. My intentions were very different to be anything other than that.
And I apologize to my band that aren't standing with me and I don't blame them, so yeah, I don't know what to say. I'm sorry."
It was then on Sept 11th, that the band announced their new album's release date would be pushed back a week, releasing instead on Sept 22nd. At the time of the news, the band stated it was "production delays that have been affecting the entire industry for some time but despite our best efforts, we won't have vinyl, CD's and the remaining merch in time for the initial release date." But as of the statement today, that delay was likely due to the band re-recording the vocals on the new album with their as yet to be named new vocalist.
McMahon joined the band in 2009 and appeared on all of their releases prior to Godlike. At this time, McMahon has yet to issue his own statement regarding his dismissal from the band.

LOL at this; band should just quit. Dude said something dumb, apologized but the band had to give in to cancel culture. People still would have come to their shows and bought merch.
what do you expect from overproduced deathcore. trash band full of cowards and liberals from the vaccine camps of AUS.
f*ck you pussies, break up and disappear instead.
Cancel culture and boycotting something are 2 different things you hamster brained re-t@rd.
"you just outed yourself queer. trump will still be your president in 2024" LMAO Trump will lose once again because he is a pussy
rick____tocchet 14 minutes ago Cancel culture and boycotting something are 2 different things you hamster brained re-t@rd. shut the f*ck up, bootlicker.
Dudes in the band don't want to ruin their chances to suck some girl dick.
Deathcore is a shit stain in metal history. f*ck all these bands. f*ck this entire genre and every motherf*cker who listens to this garbage. You're a poser and needs to be shot in the knee. f*ck you.
Luckily those vocals are extremely generic sounding. They can have 20 comparable singers offering to fill in just by posting about it at the nearest Guitar Center.
Ill listen to whatever CJ does. Thy art is muder can suck a fat d#ck, good luck with your sales now.

Cancel culture and boycotting something are 2 different things you hamster brained re-t@rd. Rick, you're not that smart. The MAGA crowds USE Boycotting as a form of cancel culture. That's like saying "Kanye West didn't get cancelled, he just had people use their free speech against him.. Cancel Culture and Free Speech are different" this is the same type of logic you are using by delineating the bud light "boycott" from cancel culture.
So not spending money on a certain product or business is the same as deplatforming or ruining a career of someone popular?
The deep state won't have to use the Death Star on hardcore and metal fans. Divided we fall.
Everyone left in thy art is required to marry a trans to show their support for trans community. It's fair and what makes sense.
Thy career as red pilled podcast guest has begun.
hell yeah, a private business making a private business decision. Free market, or something. Also, all right wingers and liberals are retards.
This move shows a couple things. 1) The remaining members of the bands support and condone child mutilations 2) The band so incredibly talentless that they prove it by showing the world they can completely re-record their entire new records vocals in a week and no one can tell the difference. Please break up.
you just outed yourself queer. trump will still be your president in 2024 ^Log Cabin Republican
f*ckin shit band is worth less than zero in the underground.
So not spending money on a certain product or business is the same as deplatforming or ruining a career of someone popular? ^precisely, moron, because in boycotting en masse you're trying to put it out business. God, you're a fat dumbass.
Shit, what's Chris "CumJob" McMahon gonna do now, go back to Wendy's?
The worst thing about his is the instagram photo. Let's see what's wrong with it: 1 - Dark colored font on black background 2 - All caps 3 - Center aligned 4 - Non standard "cool" font face 5 - Line height is atrocious (but this is the smallest issue) f*ck this band for doing this
CJ was the only talented one in this d-tier band. without him they just a local band
Ronnie (chops) from Waterbury CT who techs for them who was in Liferuiner and the horror story is stepping up
Possibly Nick from Molotov Solution? He has done vocals for them in the past.
Republicans are so cute pretending that they're not all homosexuals…jerking off to Trump, but it's not gay because he's a holy alpha male. You're all the new David Koresh followers.
Boycott is money based and cancel culture is slander/gossip based. They are not the same.
No one is out there telling bud light not to brew beer anymore. They are saying dont support it. So there is a difference.
Too bad he cucked out and apologized for his reasonable comments otherwise he might have more support right now.
Boycott is money based and cancel culture is slander/gossip based. They are not the same. ^^^^ I'm not even the dude from the initial argument, but I really felt the need to chime in to say that whomever wrote the statement above has either never made it all the way through high school, or is legitimately learning disabled and should have their computer usage monitored.
I have an original copy with Chris's vocals along with my Aunt Jemima syrup bottle and Cleveland INDIANS hat.
CJ will become Trans and be invited back in the band with arms wide open
Not all lives matter till Trans Life matter. Learned that in the 7th grade today
" Boycott is money based and cancel culture is slander/gossip based. They are not the same" Right? There is no path to redemption either. They want you to become homeless and die in the street.
" I have an original copy with Chris's vocals along with my Aunt Jemima syrup bottle and Cleveland INDIANS hat." f*ck LOL
oh shit, f*ck you!!! ::speeds off blasting pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs::
I hate we have to pretend this mid-sounding soybelly loser that would've been another centrelink eshay leech without the gig is some sort of hero because he reposted Matt Walsh content on twatter.
CJ was the only guy anyone knows in this band! Crazy to think thy people make mistakes (or did he) and you get fired/terminated without any mediation, etc. Then you post on socials as if you're serving justice to all of us for judging his actions. The irony here is now we'er judging your actions. What he said is what everyone with a brain is thinking. Bad move boys. Have some f*cking 'pride' for your band.
This isn't the first time they have had to change an album before release. -Rob Fusco
Taylor Young's Go Fund Me is at $54K btw. Never forget
"In before the sissy right wingers crying about cancel culture while boycotting Bud Light and banning books." ^^^Thy Prounoun Is Retard. Gave up the "Herr derr" shtick retard? 😂😂😂
Anytime any person or group uses a pentagram to wrap up a statement it's a promise whatever they're saying is idiotic.
Shit band. based move. LOL @ people that think cancel culture is real.
Look… you're all f*cking pathetic, do you understand that?
Everyone has to pander to the 2023 version of 2003 stretched earlobes...which they've all cut and sewn back to semi normal. Semi permanent trendy life decisions at young ages.
band has sucked asshole since its earplug inception. Singer was like what 70yrs old? Trying to finger bang fatty Dutch f*ck 19 yr old scene chicks from MySpace? No one f*cking cares. Rick Tochette is a obese retard virgin who is afraid to shower
^^^Thy Prounoun Is Retard. Gave up the "Herr derr" shtick retard? 😂😂😂 ^worked double shift at Jiffy Lube to afford Motion In Less White tix
The most "who gives a f*ck" article of 2023 Hopefully everyone in this comment section gets aids
Everyone has rights under the law, but doesn't change the fact that trans people are mentally ill. How about we address mental illness more in America. Instead of blaming it on systemic racism, white supremacy or some other phantom menace. Or maybe we should use the BILLIONS of dollars we have sent to Ukraine and will send to Ukraine in the future on American citizens instead. You don't have to be a f*cking genius to understand this.
^Doesn't have a functioning brain. Also, voted for Biden which oddly enough is the same thing.
In before retarded deathcore incels...oh shit nevermind
Leftists talk about bootlicking like they don't suck the governments dick or the dick of the LGBTQ+ and black communities as if they give a shit about you. Fragile little bitches. Get off of your high horse you pathetic f*cking cowards. 😂😂😂
Incels gonna incel. Trump's gonna lose. Time to kick back and eat popcorn and watch this retard suffer. Must suck to be actively on the losing side of history.
Can we talk about the Elysia reunion/new album
'Liberalism is a disease" Capitalist Democracy is a form of liberalism. Are you a communist or just an idiot?
The bill of rights is also a form of liberalism. It falls under social contract theory, a key development from the enlightenment. Im sure you're against the Renaissance and Enlightenment too, even though it ended feudalism and created boundaries between the ruling and working classes. You're so f*cking dumb you cant even recognize how stupid you actually are. Im sorry, I normally don't make fun of people with mental disabilities but the shit you are saying is too dumb to let fly.
"^worked double shift at Jiffy Lube to afford Motion In Less White tix" Oh no manual labor is bad. Pour me another coffee retard.
"Capitalist Democracy is a form of liberalism. Are you a communist or just an idiot?" America is a constitutional republic. The only commies in this country come in the form of "liberalism." Get f*cked retard.
Lol I'm glad you mentioned America is a republic, cause that form of government ALSO comes from.... you guessed it.. liberalism. You think 'liberalism' = the ideas of the 'liberals' you hear OAN complaining about, and you also thought you can add an 'ism' to it cause that's what tucker does to words he doesn't like (transgenderism, wokism, liberalism"), but here on planet earth "liberalism" is a real word and is an ideology from the enlightenment in which nearly all of America's governing principles were founded upon. Shit like economic systems such as capitalism, representative democracy (republics), the bill of rights, checks and balances, social contract theory, etc. So the word "liberalism" has nothing to do with the 'libs' that you hate. Your lack of education and critical thinking is showing. You suck by the way in case no one told you. Way to "own the libs" by using words you don't understand.
CJ McMahon is 'n foken poes like Duncan Bentley
^lol that this dude takes himself seriously.
when did all these tough ass bands turn into bitch ass wokies
^ lol thinks this band is "tough", and uses the word "woke" like a true mongoloid.
They should get the dude from seeyouspacecowboy
