Earlier this year, Melbourne’s Thornhill set the scene alight with the reveal of their
highly-anticipated third studio album BODIES. This week, fans get one last sneak peek into the album with the release of ‘TONGUES’ — a bold track filled with captivating, smooth melodies.
Throughout their blossoming career and especially on 2022’s Heroine, the Thorny boys have been known in the heavy industry for combining authenticity with smashing riffs and glistening melodies. Latest track ‘Tongues‘ is no different — coming in strong with a swagger of creativity and luscious riffs, this is one final teaser of BODIES that still manages to pack in plenty of energy for the metalheads.
“‘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.”

Just last week, Thornhill supported Florida heavy pop punk icons A Day To Remember in Brisbane and in turn, increased their following tenfold. As a casual listener of Thornhill over the last few years, the band’s opening set at Fortitude Music Hall was impressive and sees them poised and ready for their own headline gigs at next month’s album preview shows in just a few weeks.
BODIES is slated for release on April 4 through UNFD. Pre-order here
