Essential emo/post-hardcore album
Yellow Vinyl Pressing Limited to 1500
Includes b-side “That Hideous
Strength”
The Illusion of Safety is the
breakthrough post-hardcore album from
Thrice, featuring a sharp blend of punk
and metal with exceptional lyrics and
musicianship. The band wrote two
songs per month before recording with
producer Brian McTernan (Converge,
Cave In) in July 2001 at Salad Days
Studios.
The Illusion of Safety" is an unmatched
album that blended raw, underground
authenticity with groundbreaking
ambition. It became an immediate and
enduring pillar of 21st-century
post-hardcore, aging far better than its
many imitators. While perfectly
capturing its era, the album remains
timeless, offering new discoveries with
each listen rather than just nostalgia.
