Thornhill release new music video for ‘Where We Go When We Die’

THORNHILL have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Where We Go When We Die, is taken from the Melbourne metalcore five-piece’s debut full-length effort, The Dark Pool, which is scheduled to be released later this month. The release of the new music video follows on from the release of the first single from the forthcoming record; Nurture.

“This song is not purely about whether religions and idols are real, or if there is anything after death, but more the fact that we try to fast track our lives to get to that ‘paradise’ more than we spend realising that we live in it,” explains THORNHILL vocalist Jacob Charlton. “It’s more about killing our paradise (earth) now with hopes of finding another one or just shrugging it off to let future generations solve when it could truly become unsolvable.”

While the two tracks don’t necessarily tie in lyrically, the Where we Go When We Die video concept is a direct follow up to the previously released Nurture video. Jacob, who had a hands-on role in conceptualising and directing the piece to life, explains that the concept spawned from his fascination with the idea of an apocalypse. “I love all of that end-of-the-world stuff and I love horror movies, so this is just building on my love for that. I began to show that side in the Reptile video, but this is a bit more emotional I think. Ever since Reptile my love for directing has grown as well, and I’ve wanted to continue to do it myself and gain more experience in writing scripts and characters in relation to what a song represents. I think the song itself acts as a bit of a movie, it goes for five and-a-half minutes and has ups and downs and goes in all different places. It’s a real journey of a song and I think that’s what is expressed in the music video. When I heard the song in full I knew it had to be a music video because I could already see this happening and that happening with that certain hit or this part and so on, so I knew it would translate well.”

The Dark Pool is set for release on October 25th via UNFD. The band will support WAGE WAR on their European and UK tour in January next year.
