The mighty Thy Art Is Murder came to the states from Australia on The 10 Years of Hate Tour. Justice For The Damned (also from Australia) opened up the night to an already packed, sold out crowd at The Forge in Joliet, IL on February 11th. I Am and Undeath took the stage and kept the people moving with some heavy beatdown music.

Kublai Khan (who has toured with Thy Art Is Murder in the past) were up next. They played a set heavy enough to have people climbing the pillars in the room. Kublai Khan performed a wide variety of songs from their discography such as “Antpile”, “Boomslang”, and “Eyes Up”.

Last but not least was the band that everyone was there to see - Thy Art Is Murder. Playing their iconic album Hate front to back in celebration of its tenth anniversary. Not only did they play Hate, but also a few other songs “Holy War”, “Puppet Master’ and “Death Squad Anthem”.
