Rising alternative metal outfit Thornhill are looking to capitalize on their biggest North American touring opportunity yet. Having been selected as the openers for the just launched North American arena tour from masked British alternative metal sensation Sleep Token, Thornhill have premiered a new song and short film dubbed “Mercia“. That visual accompaniment was co-directed by the band’s vocalist Jacob Charlton alongside Jon Pisani. Charlton had the following to say about the project:
“‘Mercia‘ is a song about loving someone lost in their own abyss. It speaks to the ache of giving everything—warmth, devotion, even the hope of carrying their pain—only to be met with silence and defences, by ‘vaults’ and ‘ice’.
At its heart, the song is about the futility of trying to heal what resists healing, and the way that struggle leaves you altered, hardened, and haunted. By the close, the speaker admits they are sinking under the weight of their beloved’s spectre. They’ve been hardened by the experience — so much so that they can’t offer mercy anymore.”
