Thornhill: Rising Stars in the Metalcore Scene
Thornhill, hailing from Melbourne, Australia, has swiftly carved out a niche in the metalcore scene with their unique blend of heavy riffs, atmospheric elements, and emotive lyrics. Formed in 2016, the band has captivated audiences with their dynamic sound and intense live performances, earning a dedicated following and critical acclaim.
Early Days and Formation
The band’s inception traces back to high school, where members Jacob Charlton (vocals), Ethan McCann (guitar), Matt Van Duppen (guitar), Nick Sjogren (bass), and Ben Maida (drums) first united over a shared passion for heavy music. Their chemistry was palpable from the start, and they quickly began writing and recording their own material, leading to the release of their debut EP, “13”, in 2016.
Breakthrough with “Butterfly”
Thornhill’s debut album, “Butterfly”, released in 2019, marked a significant turning point in their career. The album showcased their maturation as musicians and songwriters, blending aggressive metalcore with haunting melodies and introspective lyrics. Tracks like “Coven” and “Reptile” demonstrated their ability to seamlessly shift between crushing heaviness and ethereal beauty, earning them a spot on various international tours and festivals.
Evolution and “The Dark Pool”
In 2019, Thornhill released their sophomore album, “The Dark Pool”, further solidifying their place in the metalcore genre. This album saw the band pushing their boundaries even further, incorporating elements of progressive metal and post-hardcore into their sound. Songs like “Where We Go When We Die” and “Nurture” highlighted their lyrical depth and musical versatility, tackling themes of existentialism, personal growth, and the human condition.

Thornhill’s live shows are renowned for their energy and intensity, with Jacob Charlton’s powerful vocals and commanding stage presence at the forefront.
