“I pride myself on crushing every style of a scream and a growl, vocal tone and accented scream,” says Thy Art Is Murder frontman Chris 'CJ' McMahon, who hits town tomorrow with the Back From the Gulag tour.
“I’ve developed three new voices for the new record just from this tour,” McMahon says while talking about the band’s plans after returning home. “It’s just come from, ‘I can do this with my voice and this, so maybe I can try to do this.’”, which didn’t get a proper American tour because of the pandemic, Thy Art Is Murder is also looking ahead and has some plans that may surprise the fans of its brutal brand of deathcore.
“I’m not sure how it’s going to work or how it’s going to sound yet, but what me and [guitarist Andy Marsh] have suggested to each other and how we’re feeling, it’s going to be a bit different than previous stuff. I think a change needs to happen for us to grow and extend our careers, as well,” McMahon says. “I think Andy definitely has his work cut out for him, but he’s pulled rabbits out of hats for years. I’m sure he’s going to do the same for the next record.
“It’s more so like finding what else I can do. ... I’m going for more emotional-driven vocal things, like super-depressing vocals,” he adds. “The problem with me is that everything has to be technical. I can’t just make a sound and it not be technical, too. I have to look after my voice. I have to make sure that I can do it every night when it needs to happen. I need to make sure that the new voice can be linked to something else I’m already doing.
