--New Album Update--

10.23.06

As a lot of you may know, for the past few months, weve been writing and recording our next album. We didnt want to say anything official until wed finalized a lot of the details, but now that were getting rolling on it, we want you guys to be the first to know what the plans are for this album.

We have started writing and recording a 4 disc concept record, with each disc being themed sonically and thematically to correspond with the four natural elements - earth, air, water and fire. The final record will have somewhere between 20 and 25 songs, divided between the 4 discs.

We are approaching the whole project in a new way for us, both writing and recording. Writing with these elements in mind, we are letting them shape the direction of the songs sonically and thematically. And for the first time, were recording the record ourselves as we write it, freeing us up to change things as we go.

We set up a studio journal/blog to document our time in the studio. We'll be posting blogs, pictures, and videos there for awhile to come so be sure to check it out:

We look forward to seeing you all soon.

-Thrice

Critical Praise for Vheissu:

“Highly intelligent, meticulously crafted and tautly performed, Vheissu finds Thrice living up to its potential.”
Billboard

“...Vheissu [is] the band's most challenging effort yet. With Vheissu, Thrice prove you can be aggressive without being empty-headed, deep without relying on clichés and heartfelt without being ‘emo.’”
Alternative Press

“[Thrice’s] new songs are mini-epics with uninterrupted melodies, suitelike structures, interlaced guitar arpeggios, brooding keyboards and sudden downshifts to anthemic choruses.”
The New York Times

“Thrice are four Orange County boys who combine spidery guitar lines, titanic metal riffage and tricky rhythms into prog-emo that’s simultaneously elegant and raw-boned.”
RollingStone

“Lush, pretty, clean singing and atypical textures and structures abound on Vheissu...this is one record that shouldn't go unheard.”
CHORD

“Beautifully crafted…it is perfect.”
Absolutepunk.net

“Look at [Vheissu] as what [Thrice] now has become: a great rock band moving their music forward.”
Punkbands.com

“Vheissu, in a word, is a masterpiece.”
Emotionalpunk.com

“There are countless points on this record where Thrice positively soar and the range of musicality, from whisper-soft to outright bludgeon is mesmeric. All in all, f**ing incredible return.”
Kerrang

"Vheissu, a song cycle of hope and optimism in the face of relentless darkness, is indeed a bold leap forward for Thrice. Much like recent Deftones work, though sounding nothing like it, the strong album (Thrice's best yet) finds the band lifting its pummeling out of the grime by melding it to ambient effects, tricky time twists, delicately sung melodies and an overall brooding mood that has much in common with the Cure…”
Orange County Register

“If there is a proverbial box, Thrice fervently plays outside of it on Vheissu.”
Outburn
