THORNHILL UNVEIL NEW SINGLE “MERCIA” WITH ACCOMPANYING SHORT FILM

Australian heavy-hitters Thornhill are stepping into a new creative era with the release of their brand-new single “Mercia,” accompanied by a striking short film co-directed by frontman Jacob Charlton.

“Mercia” showcases Thornhill’s continued evolution, merging their signature heaviness with a cinematic approach to storytelling. It’s a track that doesn’t just hit sonically but visually, with the short film expanding the song’s atmosphere into something grander and more immersive. With Charlton taking on a directorial role, the project feels deeply personal, bringing his creative vision to life both behind and in front of the camera.

The short film surrounding “Mercia” mirrors the band’s ambition: moody, dramatic, and dripping with visual metaphor. Rather than relying solely on performance shots, it weaves narrative elements into the music, blurring the line between a music video and a piece of cinema. It’s another bold step for Thornhill, a band that has consistently pushed at the boundaries of metalcore and alternative heavy music.

The release comes as Thornhill is in the middle of a massive moment — currently supporting Sleep Token on their completely sold-out U.S. arena tour. Night after night, the band has been bringing their unique mix of atmosphere and aggression to some of the biggest stages of their career, exposing them to thousands of new fans across the country.

With “Mercia” and its cinematic short film, Thornhill proves they’re not content to stay in any one lane. They’re storytellers as much as musicians, and this latest release is a clear signal that their trajectory is still rising. Between their ambitious visual work and the sheer scale of their live shows alongside Sleep Token, Thornhill are carving out a space that feels entirely their own — and “Mercia” is the sound of that vision coming into focus.
