Thornhill - Coven

[@UltraFoil]

The depth to this song is unreal. It's essentially a struggle between someone's conscious mind and their anxiety / dark voice inside their head. Reading the lyrics, it's particularly interesting how the clean vocals are from the perspective of the dark voice and the screams are from the person in pain. It shows how the anxiety is in control, and the person is suffering and lost. Very powerful.

[@bunky8077]

Good observation, you're spot on! I missed that originally.

[@nickycocaine]

Great breakdown of the lyrics man. Makes it all the more powerful.

[@Arc-ZN]

Ahh yes a real thinker how beautiful

[@jpr8437]

I never noticed the lyrics and their meanings until having gone through something similar. Holy fuck it makes the song so much more incredible.

[@juanpaneiro8496]

WE NEED THIS METAL PLS THORNHILL LOVE YOU GUYS

[@ra-on6gn]

THORNHILL WE ALL NEED THIS STYLE BACK PLEASE PLEASE

[@Paradoxbear]

Coven bewitched me. It's my favorite song on the album.

[@scorpion0498]

Pun intended..?

[@kiloxman117]

Nah bro i feel dat. I think it’s my favorite too

[@LouxPs]

That breakdown at 1:57.. Simply insane

[@tdfitness7894]

Yo and the one at the end is crazy

[@christopheridonkulous]

was reading recently about the subject matter behind this song: anxiety. i had my first panic attack at age 25 that lasted for a week straight - and checked myself into a facility to get diagnosed with it myself. these lyrics really hit home and bring it all back to me; it's anxiety personified. big props to Jacob/the boys for writing about it and crafting such a brutal, kickass song about it. really hoping they're able to get to the states soon so i can go absolutely apeshit in the pit to this one...!

[@Swerve_City]

Panic attacks make a lot of sense. I always thought it was about some sort of unseen monster that's playing with its victim. Glad to hear you're doing better.

1:57 when you're on a hill and step on a thorn

The land down under never EVER fails when it comes to metalcore bands

[@sytheopath1241]

UNFD and Sharp tone are on top I swear

[@gabrielfestini]

Dreambound 😉

[@anthonymonterosso7472]

Yeah i was gonna say Dreambound also lol theyve got some killer bands

[@tdfitness7894]

Freaking fantastic, from transition and breakdowns to jamming and shredding. This song is insane

[@loganwhitworth644]

i love that low at 1:56

[@transcendingdimensions8412]

This song is insanely good. The album gives me Northlane meets Karnivool vibes. Fuckin unreal 🤘🏼

[@Kideem]

3:08 HOLY SHIT!!! I am now addicted.

[@obenohnebohne]

Fantastic band - I love the mix between harsh and melodic.

[@drummerAVA]

2:04... into the deep, dark abyss I go...

This is literally The Dark Pool.

STILL BANGER !

Dopest album cover The Geode Cave / Fabrics of space

[@joeyg1463]

so glad this made the album! amazing debut boys!

[@RedPandaBearGaming]

Everytime I hear this song I imagine myself going down to a basement that just ends up turning into different rooms I have inside my mind

[@GenIXc500]

Ora damn, that good be an awesome concept for a video to this song.

[@itzterra9510]

My imagination goes absolutely crazy when I listen to this song. I always imagine 2 versions of Jacob singing in a Gulag style room. 1 doing the screaming and acting violent towards the other version of him while he sings the cleans.

[@JeriahsWillGDP]

I've listened to this album like 50 times and still get amazed and notice new things every playthrough.

[@LunarySSF2]

NEW FUCKING THORNHILL PROJECT TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT I'M SO EXCITED

[@christopheridonkulous]

Thornhill is always going to remain one of my favorite bands until the day i die. i'm now revisiting this song because these lyrics: "I’m under your bed I’m in your hair I’m in your lungs When you need some air Don’t breathe I’ll find you" take on a whole new meaning now that my body is battling the COVID virus inside of me 😬😬 luckily i'm on day 5 of recovery though!

[@BlooNetwork]

@Christopher Ridonkulous Sorry to hear. Hope you feel better soon.

[@aliyahburnette8018]

I love this song especially the live version of coven went hard live I'm so glad I got to see Thornhill live last year with Moodring and saw them the second time with the plot in you, holding absence and banks arcade also I got a picture with Jacob from Thornhill he's such a sweet, down to earth guy I hope they get to tour again soon i've been a fan of Thornhill since 2021.

[@babbadook]

Wow I’m getting some strong Thornhill vibes from these guys. Keep it up!

[@corvodraken3049]

Zach Howard idk man I ain’t getting that

[@Swerve_City]

Sounds more like Cradle of Filth to me.

[@BrianGivensYtube]

I was thinking Taylor Swift but I can see some Cradle of Filth, maybe a little Kanye.

[@ja_cow_ski]

Never heard of Thornhill before. Any songs to recommend?

[@scorpion0498]

Great track

[@alexiz.7569]

this track is Dope!

[@ebrand11]

Can't get over this one. Really really good. These guys are amazing

[@taylorsrighteoustalks1279]

Best one on here man!!

[@taylorsrighteoustalks1279]

Best fucking track to listen to while high!! This song is so well made🔥🔥!! All the right shit in one song man!!

[@Kyrnyx]

I personally don't hear voices, but I have pretty nasty anxiety and my thoughts are pretty similar. Great song.

[@angelum_lucis]

More song like this! Please

[@christoviljoen6298]

[@atruedjentleman6030]

“”Coven”‘s about identifying anxiety I guess as like a living thing, as something that moves around and is always around you. Because I know I have insane issues with that that I don’t really talk about, and I don’t really want to talk about, and I don’t really treat it as anxiety. I just treat it as ‘Oh I get really really really really nervous’ … all the time. [laughs] I have heaps of issues before going on stage. I even like get nervous before interviews, like this one. I can’t handle it. I get shaky, I can’t sleep. I cannot sleep before tour.” Kel: “I was really nervous too!” Jacob: “Do you get like that as well?” Kel: “Yeah, like today I was like ‘Okay I’m noticing I’m feeling nervous, BUT I’ve been listening to this album since my review, I’ve been listening to it on repeat, I know the album, I’ve got the lyrics, I know you, I don’t have any problems talking to you at gigs and stuff, so why am I nervous?’. And I was kind of like ‘Um it’s probably because of all the pressure I put on myself to do everything perfect.’ [laughs]” Jacob: “[laughs] I get the same. I get that. I was like ‘Man, I know Kel, why am I freaking out? This is my album’. But I’m still like ‘Ooh, do I know enough about the album to talk about it?’. [laughs]” Kel: “No, I can fully relate, I felt stupid. Why am I nervous?! It’s dumb. It’d be totally fine if I just ran into you at a gig but for some reason it’s like ‘Ooh! Phone interview! Stress!'” Jacob: “Legit. It’s so annoying, and I get like that before tours, before shows. I get super stressed about my voice on tours and stuff like that, but I’ve got a new mantra kind of thing that I say to myself, and I started doing it before we played Unify because I was really sick before Unify. You just have to tell yourself ‘The events that are going to happen have already happened’, you know? ‘Whatever’s going to be is going to be’ and you just have to do the best with what you have. And people are never going to fully appreciate you on stage anyway, so you might as well just do it enough that you’re happy, that you can get off and say ‘You know what? I did my best’ and that’s all you can ask for. And I think it’s something that I’ve been able to deal with and it’s something that has gotten better and has gotten worse at the same time. I think I treat it in this song as something that is really scary. It’s something that’s creeping around, that’s following you, like a shadow, and I think that’s how it always feels to me. I feel like some people can really identify with that as well which is cool.” Kel: “Yeah! So is it a bit of a witchy thing based on the name “Coven”?” Jacob: “Yeah! Oh my god. It’s so good to hear you say that properly. Oh my god, I get so many ‘coh-ven’s and I’ve never heard that word be called ‘coh-ven’ before. I don’t get it. Like ‘cuh-van’ or ‘coh-ven’. I’ve never really heard anyone just say ‘coven’. Freaks me out. It’s weird, right? I was like ‘It’s gotta be dark, it’s a full-on song, so it needs to be something a bit spooky’. When I imagine anxiety in this song as a thing, I kind of imagine it as that movie The Babadook. Have you ever seen it?” Kel: “No, I don’t think so! I’m going to Google.” Jacob: “Well yeah I kind of imagine it like that. It’s got a big top hat and it’s like scary.” Kel: “Oh yeah, that’s horrible, yeah.” Full interview here: www.depthmag.com/thornhill-interview/

Don't get me wrong, I love Heroine. This is genuinely one of the greatest albums ever made.

Hopefully we see Ethan sing more in the future Edit: I’ve heard people talk about the whispers in this song, where is it?

Jake Henderson which one sorry? And what do they say?

[@SeggsMeister]

@@corvodraken3049 1:13 You mean that background humming?

The Dude I don’t know, I’ve just heard fans and the band themselves talk about the whispers and people try to figure out what it is

[@bojechkiyanatural]

At the end of the song

[@ethangibbs3688]

I get a lot of TesseracT and Monuments through these guys

[@BarnesyBoy]

Who does the second scream vocals?? "What I am inside" doesnt sound like Jacob.

[@samrparker1224]

I believe it's Ethan!

[@aliyahburnette8018]

@@samrparker1224 Huh? No way that can't be Ethan doing the what I am inside verse that's definitely gotten be Jacob for sure.

[@Carteri-1]

Did the vocalist change his screaming techniques. Sounds different like inhales. Sounds cool tho. If u listen you can tell between the old coven version and new

[@tommyarmstrong5782]

Carteri1 he had to change his style so his voice wouldn’t blow out

[@batuhankeskin8874]

if he sings like in reptile or lavender, he will going to lose his voice

[@Breezus420]

that ending has a heavy DOOM feeling to it

[@DJH3891]

just realized the similarities to "Of energy" 😁
