In keeping with Australian Metalcore for another week, I now present to you Thornhill’s second EP Butterfly. A band who hail from Melbourne and consider themselves to be an Alternative Metalcore (more sub genres?) group and I couldn’t agree more. They have transcended the generic sounds of MC and breath new life into the genre. Having been newly formed they have impressed their peers and have already toured with the likes of Void of Vision, Northlane, Parkway Drive and many more.
Second EP’s are like second albums, you need to change enough to show off what you can do while stay similar enough to not confuse your fan base.

Thornhill has hit the nail straight on the head with Butterfly, which kicks things off with ‘Sunflower’ a half toned down track that relaxes you into the release to begin with, then builds up perfectly.

Butterfly then assaults you with 'Parasite' 'Reptile', 'My Design' and 'Lavender', which are the awesomesauce evidence of their skills and will get the blood pumping. But my favourite has to be the closer ‘Joy’, again starts things off slow before picking things back up for the middle and then drifting away at the end, a perfect track to finish off Butterfly.

After hearing a few things about Thornhill for a year or so now, I’m glad I took the time to actually check out one of their releases.

Butterfly might be short, but it still packs an amazing punch musically, which I loved especially since they are a relatively young band both age wise and how long the group have been about. I see great things in Thornhill’s future especially with the backing of UNFD who has helped out so many great Australian metal bands so far.

The sky’s the limit boys, go for it.

8.5/10

Thornhill scores massive points in my books for Butterfly, but top Aussie album for me is still Parkway Drive's Ire. Powerful stuff.

With two and a half Australian writers for Ronon's Reviews, it's about time we started to promote more from Down Under, like Hounds of Love.

Metalcore is an amazing genre, full of anger and aggression, but it is the perfect way of releasing said energy. One of the best albums for that is Beartooth's Aggressive.
