Review
Thornhill's 2025 release, "BODIES", is like a graffiti tag on the walls of their discography - raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically loud. The album is a dynamic shift from the band's earlier progressive metalcore sound, injecting a newfound intensity and spontaneity into their music. It's as if the band stripped away the polish and refinement of their past work, like using a can of paint thinner to wipe the gloss off their previous albums, revealing the gritty, visceral essence beneath.
Album highlights like "DIESEL," "Revolver," and "TONGUES" are like splatters of spray paint on a canvas, delivering some of Thornhill's heaviest riffs and most undeniable hooks to date. The band's recording process for "BODIES" embraced imperfections and collaboration, much like how a crew of graffiti artists work together to create a mural, each bringing their unique style to the project. Lyrics revolving around passion, desire, and the abyss paint a raw and unfiltered picture of Thornhill's evolution as artists. "BODIES" is a reminder that sometimes the most powerful art comes from embracing the chaos and rawness within ourselves. - Raven
