Thrice
The Illusion of Safety
PUT THIS IN YOUR DEN for one of Thrice's best albums. We love each era of Thrice's catalog equally (The Alchemy Index are particular favorites) - yet the early material holds special places in our hearts. Yes, yes, yes, this is the one with "Deadbolt" - but this entire album is a bombastic slap of emocore fury, closing with the incredibly underrated gem "The Beltsville Crucible."
Available on yellow with black splatter 20th Anniversary Edition wax, limited to 300
This was the second full-length from this Orange County, CA, band that plays a hybrid of melodic hardcore, power pop, emocore, metal, etc. Heavy, aggressive, melodic, and catchy. This 20th anniversary edition features the bonus track "That Hideous Strength."
