Thornhill

While 156/Silence are currently focused on crushing crowds as an opening act on Thornhill’s ongoing “Mercia Tour”, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania metalcore unit have announced they’ll be delivering a new album called From A Distance in the near future. Ahead of the official album release, they’ve dropped a big-grooved first single called “No Arms.” A press release explains that the new album follows 2024’s Revolver-loved People Watching, and it also marks their full-length debut for Pure Noise Records. The first single swirls through nu-inspired grooves and anthemic modern metalcore, with a side-dose of tense, retro-electronica arpeggiation. Lyrically, it hints at “wasted days,” emotional scars, and trying to find one’s purpose through the “war.” The band said this about the track in a joint statement: “‘No Arms’ is about being without a way to protect yourself and what belongs to you. Being alone and afraid, not having any means to control the situations that befall on us. The overwhelming feeling of being helpless until we’re not. Until somebody saves us.” Unless you’re saving yourself for the full LP, you can check out 156/Silence’s new song via the chase-imbued music video up above. The band’s From A Distance was produced by Josh Schroeder (King 810, Lorna Shore, The Plot In You), and is said to be “heavy as hell, while leaning into atmosphere, mood, and emotional impact even harder.” The record also features guest spots from the Devil Wears Prada’s Mike Hranica and Make Them Suffer’s Alex Reade. Conceptually, the band were apparently inspired by the game scores for Resident Evil and Silent Hill, as well as the eerie vibes of Twin Peaks and Severance (a sample from the latter is said to open the album). From A Distance is out September 4th via Pure Noise, though a pre-order for an exclusive variant on “Copper Black Ice Shimmer Blend” vinyl (limited to only 250 copies, and bundled with a signed insert) is up now in Revolver’s shop.

Welcome to Rockville just staged an epic four-day event that found more than 160 acts from the worlds of metal, rock, hardcore and more spread out across five stages at the World Famous Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, between May 7th-10th.

The event also celebrated veteran titans like Motionless in White, Slaughter to Prevail, Ice Nine Kills and Turnstile, while also showcasing the next gen of stage dominators like Castle Rat and Thornhill.
