THORNHILL Share New Single “MERCIA”
Band Currently On The Road Supporting Sleep Token
On Their Completely Sold Out US Arena Tour
Australia’s genre-blurring heavyweights Thornhill have dropped brand new single and music video, “Mercia” today. The release comes as the band step onto U.S. arena stages as direct support for Sleep Token’s completely sold-out Even in Arcadia tour which kicked off last night in Atlanta. Equal parts searing and sorrowful, “Mercia” continues the visceral emotional streak of the band’s most recent album, BODIES (released April of this year via UNFD) whilst holding the line as a stand alone release and a testament to the band’s perpetual commitment to pushing their artistic boundaries. Stream “Mercia” HERE and watch the accompanying short film co-directed by vocalist Jacob Charlton and Jon Pisani HERE.
Speaking on today’s release, Charlton shares “’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.”
“Mercia” offers a devastating exploration of love, loss, and the emotional wreckage left behind. The new track arrives in the wake of Thornhill’s most expansive and globally resonant release to date – their 2025 full-length BODIES, which debuted at #4 on the ARIA Albums Chart, #8 on Spotify UK’s Top Album Debuts, and secured Top 40 entries across multiple Billboard U.S. charts, including Hard Music, Rock, and Independent Albums. With over 107 million streams, 15M+ YouTube views, and a rapidly growing U.S. fanbase, Thornhill’s momentum has now become undeniable.
Now, Thornhill will take “Mercia” and BODIES on the road, as they perform to over 200,000 fans across 17 sold-out U.S. arenas on Sleep Token’s Even in Arcadia tour, which started in Atlanta last night and will wrap in Los Angeles on October 11th.
