„Horizons/West“ (2025) completes the thematic arc begun with „Horizons/East“ (2021), pairing personal reflection with sweeping sonic ambition. Self-produced by the band, engineered by guitarist Teppei Teranishi, mixed by Scott Evans, and mastered by Matthew J. Barnhart, „Horizons/West“balances cinematic tones with spacious atmosphere. Teranishi calls it „less dense,“ while vocalist Dustin Kensrue sees it as their first sequel-two halves of a larger emotional and political panorama. Blending post-rock textures from their earlier albums „Beggars“ and „Major/Minor“, with rhythmic complexity from „Horizons/East“, the band sharpens its edge without losing nuance. Kensrue“s vocals shift from whisper to roar, anchoring meditations on perception, memory, and social influence. „Horizons/West“ looks inward while never ignoring the larger world – urging listeners not to adopt beliefs, but to interrogate them. After more than two decades, Thrice continues building catharsis from chaos, and clarity from noise… Limitiertes farbiges Vinyl solange der Vorrat reicht! (Epitaph/ 2025)
