Australian heavyweights, Thornhill, are on the countdown to the release of their new album, Bodies. It is due to drop on April 4th, via UNFD records.

Speaking on the new track, Thornhill share:
““Tongues” explores the tension of being pulled between opposing forces—desire and resistance, surrender and defiance. In many ways, it reflects our own relationship with heavy music, the push and pull between being consumed by it or resisting its grip. The song’s atmosphere feels like an ongoing battle, shifting between aggression and restraint. Lines like ‘turning your tongue in two’ and ‘fingernails down the walls’ heighten this conflict, evoking the struggle to commit or break free.”
With swirling melodies, gut-punching heaviness, and deeply evocative lyricism, “Tongues” builds on Thornhill’s previous singles from Bodies, further cementing it as their most ambitious LP yet. “Silver Swarm” explored the chaotic manipulation and push-pull of toxic relationships, while “nerv.” fused haunting electronics with nu-metal fury, earning the band widespread acclaim, a Spotify cover feature on The Core playlist, and adds to Kickass Metal and All New Metal playlists. Together, the singles have racked up 2.6 million Spotify streams and 420,000 YouTube views. Bodies is Thornhill’s most immediate, raw, and unfiltered record yet—a sonic rollercoaster that abandons rigid concepts in favor of pure, instinctual expression. With anthemic highs, crushing lows, and everything in between, the album captures the band in their most authentic form.

More from Thornhill:
Eternal purveyors of artful and engaging heavy creations, Thornhill possess a flair for nuanced rock beyond their influences. Via their ARIA Award-nominated 2022 album Heroine, Thornhill solidified a steadfast reputation as one of the most innovative and immersive heavy acts in the Australian scene, with Heroine debuting at #3 on the ARIA Albums charts, and at #1 on the Australian Albums charts. Thornhill have amassed a heaving array of accolades over the years, including triple j‘s Feature Album and additions to countless Best Of The Year listings for their 2019 release The Dark Pool. And in 2023 and 2024, the band gifted some insatiable new material courtesy of standalone singles “Viper Room” and “Obsession”, as well as a live album, Live On Tour!, boasting performances captured in the wild across the globe that released in June.
Thornhill kicked off 2024 supporting Silent Planet on extensive North American run, before joining Aussie heavies Polaris on tour in the UK and Europe, appearing at Impericon Festival alongside As I Lay Dying, August Burns Red and While She Sleeps, and touring North America supporting Northlane. Thornhill joined Fear Factory, Thy Art Is Murder, Hands Like Houses and many more performing at last year’s Froth & Fury Fest in Adelaide, ending the year with a huge headlining a huge run across the UK and Europe.
Now, armed with their most ambitious and thrilling work to date, Thornhill continue their quest to reinvent heavy music with the release of Bodies. Speaking on their upcoming release, the band share:
“Bodies marks a bold evolution in our ever-developing sound. Heroine was defined by its meticulously crafted and tightly woven concept, but the weight of this careful construction sometimes overshadowed the energy of the music itself, leaving some listeners feeling disconnected. With Bodies, we’ve embraced a more immediate, unfiltered approach that feels like a lightning bolt, looking to capture the energy of ‘Thornhill right now.’ The album thrives on spontaneity and freedom, foregoing rigid concepts in favour of pure, in-your-face authenticity. It’s less about delivering a carefully constructed narrative and more about creating a visceral, open-ended experience. Bodies serves as a sonic moodboard—a collection of feelings and vibes—intentionally left open to interpretation. It has an upbeat and almost celebratory, party energy at times, but also retains all the emotion and intensity Thornhill are known for, making it our heaviest and most explosive work to date. With Bodies, we invite listeners to connect on their own terms. It’s raw, personal, and unapologetically immediate—a record that thrives in the moment, capturing our band at our most authentic and free.”
