200 Stab Wounds To Replace Thy Art Is Murder At ‘Welcome To Rockville’ & ‘Sonic Temple’

Pure‑unfiltered death metal outfit 200 Stab Wounds have been tapped to step in for Thy Art Is Murder at two major 2026 festivals: ‘Welcome To Rockville’ in Daytona Beach, FL and ‘Sonic Temple’ in Columbus, OH. The band will take over the slots vacated by the Australian deathcore outfit after a sudden medical emergency forced the latter to pull off the spring bill.

Thy Art Is Murder dropped out of its North American run in the wake of drummer Jesse Beahler undergoing emergency surgery for acute appendicitis. The band confirmed he is recovering well but has been advised not to fly or perform for several weeks, which ruled out any festival appearances or tour dates in the immediate run‑up. Promoters have since reshuffled the lineup, slotting 200 Stab Wounds into the left‑behind positions, giving fans at both festivals a chance to experience the band’s blistering, down‑and‑dirty death metal sound across the stages.
