Thornhill - Bodies X (2025)
BODIES X sees Thornhill taking their most recent album BODIES and completely reworking it — not simply remixing, but enlisting peers and collaborators to reinterpret each track and push the band’s sound into new dimensions.
The reinterpretations bring fresh energy: fans of the original will recognise the themes, riffs and emotional core, but the re-imagined versions often alter dynamics, rebuild atmospheres and emphasise different moods — making the album feel both familiar and radical.
Production is bold: heavy guitars and rhythm drive remain, but a sense of experimentation, texture and community re-works the album into a collective statement rather than just a solo project.
Lyrically and thematically the record retains its exploration of identity, trauma and transformation, yet the new versions add layers of reflection: what was raw now feels reconsidered, what was aggressive now sometimes introspective.
Ultimately, BODIES X functions as both tribute and evolution — for listeners open to hearing a heavy-music album remixed at its core, it succeeds as a creative refresh; those seeking purely original material might find some transitions surprising or less cohesive than a straight studio album.
