There are at least two bands with the name Thou.
1. Thou is a doom/sludge/drone metal band from Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Their lyrics deal mostly with social decay, death, and general despair. All of their recorded music, after a period of time, is posted for free on their homepage, http://noladiy.org/thou.html.
They are a very prolific band, putting out several splits and EPs every year. So far, the total number of albums put out is three; those being “Tyrant”, “Summit”, and “Peasant”. The number of EPs is greater, at a total of 6; being named “The Archer & the Owle”, “To the Chaos Wizard Youth”, “Baton Rouge, You Have Much to Answer for”, “Malfeasance-Retribution”, “Through the Empires of Eternal Void”, and “The Retaliation of the Immutable Force of Nature”. The number of splits they have released is even greater, totalling at 9 so far, and information can be found on them at http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Thou/104484.
2. Another Thou is a belgian band. Early on, they had an electro sound, but have grown to sound more along the lines of pop rock. It is said that Thou is the most underestimated band in the Belgian music scene because of their already ten year long career and with very little success. They are set to release a bunch of new songs, called “This is Not a Record,” available only on the internet (iTunes, eMusic).

I'm pretty sure they played Free Will when I saw them tonight, sounded incredibly good. I wouldn't expect anything else though.

In the recent interview they did for Cult Nation they didn't mention anything about splitting up, in fact they said their next album "Heathen" is being written, with one song ("Free Will") completed. I wouldn't interpret that sentence as an indication of Thou disbanding.

I know people always say that when a great band breaks up (See: Ludicra last year) but Thou has over 20 releases not one of which is below what I'd consider to be great. There's no reason to think that if they went on for a few more years that they'd start making mediocre albums. They've got a new LP coming out this year that I'm 100% sure will kick all sorts of ass and end up being one of my favorites. If they do call it quits then they'll have one of the best catalogues of any band ever but I really hope they decide to keep going.

I'd prefer an awesome band splitting up and having a glorious legacy amongst the ones who knew, rather than trudging along and shitting out mediocre album after album *cough* mastodon't*cough*
