Australian quintet Thornhill have produced the first record of the year to truly blown me away. Seemingly coming out of nowhere, and with only one previous EP to their name, ‘Butterfly’ is a sophisticated, refined package of brilliance that brings a breath of fresh air to a genre that can be stale and predictable at times.

‘Sunflower’ is packed with intricate riffs and drum patterns that merge with unusually crafted, but hugely impressive vocals, covering the whole spectrum from heavy to atmospheric. Think Northlane with the dynamics and intrigue of Black Peaks and the breakdowns of Architects.
