Thy Art Is Murder have entered their next era of brutality with new vocalist Jerry Grimefeld, who makes his debut via the single “Squeeze” out now via Human Warfare. Before pulling the final curtain on touring for 2026, the band will officially introduce Grimefeld to Australian audiences via a quick run of intimate shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. In February 2027 the band will return to Europe with a special Underplay Tour. Expect complete and utter mayhem.
TAIM’s new single “Squeeze” feels like a disorientating journey through a deranged carnival funhouse. Creepy, manic and savage, the track is a vicious introduction to Grimefield’s vocal ferocity and merely an appetizer to what the band have been cooking up in the studio between tours.
A familiar face in Australian heavy music and hip hop circuits, Grimefeld’s arrival in TAIM came without warning. Earlier this year, he quietly stepped into the vocalist role, playing his first show with the band at Life’s A Beach festival in Melbourne before his full initiation on the European summer festival circuit.
Without formal introduction or fanfare, TAIM’s new vocalist set the internet ablaze, with the rest of the world asking “who the f**k is Jerry Grimefeld?”. Ripping through set after set, Grimefeld commanded the microphone and caused carnage in the pit as though he had been reigning over the blood throne since day one. Metal Hammer described TAIM’s Radar Festival set as a “mass of dropped jaws and flailing limbs”, Distorted Sound Magazine added that he “slotted into his role seamlessly with impressive ferocity”, while Hive UK marvelled at the “energetic frontman with insane gutturals and control of his vocals”.
Of his new post, Grimefield says: “Thy Art Is Murder has influenced me more than any other band in the world. Hate sent me down the path I’m on today, so being part of this band now is surreal. I’m blessed to be here, and I can’t wait to show everyone what we’ve been working on. We’re about to get ignorant with it”.
The Squeeze tour will mark Grimefield’s first headline run on home soil. The band will rip through intimate venues, bringing the next era of TAIM within arm’s reach for a ruthlessly up-close and visceral experience.
In February 2027 the shared carnage of Thy Art Is Murder and Jerry Grimefeld will continue in Europe on an intimate run of club shows. Ticket presale will start on 6th November at 10am UK time, don’t expect it to last long!
