The Weight Of Silence release blistering new single “Hologram” – featuring ex-Thy Art Is Murder vocalist

Australian nü-metal outfit The Weight Of Silence have enlisted former Thy Art Is Murder frontman CJ McMahon for their latest single titled “Hologram.” The track premiered accompanied by a high-energy video featuring McMahon in a prominent role.

The collaboration marks McMahon’s most recent appearance since his departure from Thy Art Is Murder in 2023 following public backlash over controversial remarks. Although he has not yet announced a new solo project or band, he has remained active through guest features, and “Hologram” showcases his intense vocal style alongside The Weight Of Silence’s aggressive nü-metal sound.

This track is a preview of the band’s upcoming album, “Ain’t Nothin To It,” scheduled for release on September 5th, 2025. The video, shot and edited by Gregoroth, captures the raw energy of both the song and McMahon’s performance, visually matching the track’s furious intensity.

This release continues a trend of McMahon appearing on guest tracks rather than launching a new fronted project. Fans and critics have noted that his involvement elevates “Hologram,” lending it an added dimension of aggression and emotional weight, and keeping his presence alive in the metal scene despite stepping away from Thy Art Is Murder.
