Thornhill - The Dark Pool

The Dark Pool is the debut studio album by Australian heavy metal band Thornhill, originally released in October 2019 via UNFD.

Melbourne metalcore five-piece Thornhill's hugely-anticipated debut full-length album The Dark Pool which marks the bands assault on an expectant heavy scene. Since emerging in 2016, the band have made a playground of the Australian heavy sphere, earmarking themselves as one of the country's most refreshing and unrelenting emerging acts.

Having stretched their touring muscles alongside the likes of Northlane, Architects, Parkway Drive, In Hearts Wake and Polaris and impressed with releases including their 2018 EP Butterfly and recent single 'Coven', the clever and colourful The Dark Pool promises to be a breakout for Thornhill.

From the unrelenting riffage of 'Nurture', to the sweltering breakdown of 'Views From The Sun', and the breathy moment of rest on 'All The Light We Don't See', The Dark Pool captures the breadth and depth of this group's knockout brand of heavy.

On its musicality, Thornhill lead vocalist Jacob Charlton explains that: 'We wanted it to have enough difference that people would be surprised, and it would also allow us to keep branching out down the track. We wanted to sprinkle enough in The Dark Pool that we could continue to build on, we never want to pigeon hole ourselves into a genre, that was never the point of Thornhill. We just want to be exactly who we want to be every single time.'

This album is a limited edition reissue on opaque green coloured vinyl housed in a single pocket sleeve with a printed insert, pressed in Australia via UNFD.
