Thornhill have just unveiled brand-new single and video, Mercia.
Arriving the day after their tour dates supporting Sleep Token in the U.S. kick off (and, indeed, getting its live debut last night at the Gas South Arena in Duluth, Georgia), the track is about “loving someone lost in their own abyss”, according to Jacob Charlton.
The frontman continues: “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.”
