Thoughtcrimes is an American mathcore outfit formed by Billy Rymer, best known as the final drummer for the legendary Dillinger Escape Plan. Based in Long Island, the band serves as a primary creative vehicle for Rymer, who contributes not only his signature hyper-kinetic drumming but also significant guitar and songwriting work.
Their sound identity is defined by a fusion of technical hardcore, industrial noise, and occasional melodic accessibility that recalls the '90s alternative metal era. Since their debut EP 'Artificer', the band has moved toward a more expansive sound, culminating in the 2022 full-length 'Altered Pasts'. Critically, they are viewed as torchbearers for the mathcore genre, successfully bridging the gap between the chaotic legacy of their predecessors and a modern, production-heavy aesthetic. Their position in the scene is bolstered by Rymer's reputation, attracting a dedicated following of technical music enthusiasts and fans of the 'Holy Roar' or 'Solid State' style of experimental heavy music.
