Happy Friday everyone! More importantly, happy album release day! If you’ve been jamming ‘nerv’ like I have since the single dropped, then you’re going to love this new album. I’ve been through it twice already this morning and know it’s going to make it into my everyday rotation playlist. Check out all the info on this new album, the new visualizer for ‘under the knife’ AND information on their upcoming North American headlining tour below.
Friday, April 4th, 2025 – The wait is over, and today an astonishing new era for Melbourne’s Thornhill has arrived via their brand new studio album BODIES, out now via UNFD. Accompanying the album is the release of visualizer for under the knife. Stream BODIES here and watch the visualizer here.
A dauntless pastiche of creative freedom and ingenuity, BODIES finds Thornhill in full flight, with its 11 tracks layered with authenticity and electrifying execution, cementing the group’s status yet again as one of Australia’s most engaging heavy acts.
Opening with percolating bounce via DIESEL, BODIES thrives with caustic urgency (Revolver), swooning melodics soaked in oscillating chaos and clarity (Silver Swarm), serene reprieves (fall into the wind), grinding swagger (TONGUES) and mellow R&B flavours (CRUSH), offering an expansive and kaleidoscopic palette that circles upbeat buoyancy and crushing heaviness; a snapshot of Thornhill in their most assured form to date.
Coinciding with the release today of BODIES, Thornhill have also shared a visualizer for the album’s haunting penultimate track under the knife. Providing context on the new track, the band share
“We wanted to convey an underlying fear of being unnoticed or forgotten, the notion of a silhouette falling between fingers conveys a message of fleeting moments—something that can be grasped but never fully held. Within the atmosphere of the instrumentation, a haunting exploration of love and lust, blends these two feelings into something more tragic, yet hopefully relatable. There’s a delicate balance between submission (“underneath your knife”) and resistance (“I don’t wanna know yet”), which creates a soft tension, a push/pull that moves with song dynamics.”
‘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. Pre-order it now HERE.
