Thrice is an experimental American, post-hardcore band formed in Irvine, California in 1997.

In 1999 they self-released an EP called First Impressions, of which only 1,000 copies were made and sold out of their cars. In 2000, Thrice signed-up with Sub City Records and released two LPs: Identity Crisis (2000) and The Illusion of Safety (2002); the former only receiving 1.5 stars in the , and the latter being widely acclaimed and receiving attention from major record labels. Even though Thrice's guitar parts always included metal influences, The Illusion of Safety contained a heavier metalcore sound. The Illusion of Safety was recorded in Beltsville, Maryland. The track "The Beltsville Crucible" reflects this.
