Australian's Thornhill have released a standalone single “Mercia" as they kick off their U.S. support run for Sleep Token’s Even in Arcadia tour.
"Frontman Jacob Charlton describes “Mercia” as a deeply emotional track about “loving someone lost in their own abyss.” He says it explores the ache of pouring out warmth, devotion, even the hope of carrying someone’s pain—only to be met with silence and defenses, by “vaults” and “ice.” It’s a song about how struggles that resist healing leave you altered, hardened, haunted, and ultimately unable to offer mercy."

No news about a potential new album for now.
The band's vocalist, Charlie Rolfe, on the new song:
You give everything you have, your whole being, your whole life, to help someone but it’s never enough if they don’t want to help themselves. I really struggled to understand how someone close to me couldn’t see my point of view in the awful situation we were in. They were angry when I helped, they were angry when I gave them space, they were angry when I stayed, they were angry when I left. It destroyed my confidence and my self-worth having to live in an environment where nothing I ever did was good enough. It hurts deeply to w ...more

The title, Magic 8-Ball, ties into the idea of randomness and inevitability. Shaking something for answers you already suspect and repeating the cycle over and over. The idea of infinity is central. These stories repeat throughout the album. Different forms, same patterns always finding a way back. ...more
Jürgen Bartsch, the bassist and chief songwriter for extreme metal band Bethlehem, has passed away from an undisclosed illness. The news was shared on social media by current Bethlehem singer Yvonne “Onielar” Wilczynska.

German death metallers Stillbirth have unleashed their new single, “Sacrificial Slaughter,” taken from their upcoming full-length album Survival Protocol, set for release on October 31st.

California deathcore outfit Spite have returned with their new single, “Lights Out,” the first offering from their upcoming album New World Killer, out October 31st.

The video was published that day about 3 to 4 hours after the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis. While the video’s themes may seem unsettling, all evidence points to an unfortunate coincidence with no connection to the incident. Such releases are typically scheduled well in advance, making any malice behind the timing unlikely.

Listening parties with live acts supporting will be taking place across the UK on 14 September, before LSD's global release on 19 September.
