Thrice are an American post-hardcoreband that formed in Irvine, California in 1997. In 2000, Thrice signed-up with Sub City Records and released two LPs. The first, Identity Crisis(2000), only received 1.5 stars in the AMG review and little buzz. The second, The Illusion of Safety(2002), was widely acclaimed and received attention from major record labels. Even though Thrice's music has always included some metal influences, The Illusion of Safety contains a heavier metalcore sound than the rest of their records.

A Subtle Dagger Lyrics
Thrice
it infiltrates, insidious. it feints at love, betrays our trust
in what we've known since we were born,
the truth we've found in all we see points to design,
still our chests swell.
we'll never find true answers from a wishing well.
so feed us all another lie, to still our thoughts,
appease our pride, so we won't have to change the way
we see, we live, we love, we die.
our luts precede, our blasphemy.
our logic reads like notes from tainted autopsy.
our souls they speak of something more,
but we can't look beyond ourselves.
we implore empty skies because o hearts hold room
for no one else.
we extend our claws to grasp at shadows of the ideals we have lost,
casualties of a subtle dagger,
buried to the hild in our heart,
blood on our hands.
