Their live performances were notably destructive, leaving a lasting impression on the hardcore scene. The band's discography includes influential albums such as "...And Then There Was Motion" and "A Skin Historic," which showcased their unique blend of aggression and musical complexity. In 2017, they reunited to release the EP "Skar Cymbals," reaffirming their enduring impact on the genre. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoughts_of_Ionesco?utm_source=openai))
