The album debuted at no. 35 on the ARIA Charts,[10] making Thy Art Is a Murder the first extreme metal band ever to break the top 40.[11] The album also reached no. 1 on AIR[12] and peaked at 31 on the Top Heatseekers chart.[13]
On March 31, 2013 Metal Hammer began streaming the album in full, in anticipation of the Nuclear Blast re-release.[14]
Style
AllMusic described the sound of the album as deathcore, as well as stating that the album is free of the cliches of the genre by noting that the group's focus is on "pushing the limits of intensity rather than just seeing how many breakdowns they can fit into a song"[1] Exclaim! also noted the complexitiy of the music in comparison to other deathcore groups, describing the album's sound as a "harsh change from the simplistic sound popularized by Suicide Silence and their peers."[7]
