Thornhill To Preview New Album ‘BODIES’ With Three Live Shows Next Month

Who’s horny for new Thorny? Thornhill have just announced the imminent arrival of their third studio album, BODIES this April, with plans to preview the LP at a trio of headline dates for fans across the East Coast.

Heralded by the band as a “bold evolution in our ever-developing sound”, BODIES is set to reach our ears on Friday, 4th April.

Thornhill – ‘Silver Swarm’

“[Our second album] 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,” Thornhill shares. “With BODIES, we have embraced a more immediate, unfiltered approach that feels like a lightning bolt, looking to capture the energy of ‘Thornhill right now’.”

The band continues: “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,” they add. “It’s raw, personal, and unapologetically immediate—a record that thrives in the moment, capturing our band at our most authentic and free.”

As mentioned, Thorny fans on the East Coast will score a unique opportunity to experience BODIES before its release in a live and intimate setting, with a trio of preview shows kicking off on Thursday, 27th March at Howler in Melbourne, before hitting Brisbane’s Crowbar on Saturday, 29th March and closing out on Sunday, 30th March at Oxford Art Factory in Sydney.

Thornhill will be supported by Adelaide metalcore quartet Signals and Melbourne metalcore upstarts Melting at all three shows.
