The Mass is a mathcore / avant-garde metal band from Oakland, California.

The Mass mixes ample quantities of thrash, punk, and hardcore with nuances ranging from mathcore to jazz into an avant-garde stew they like to call "indie-metal."
Founded in 2002 by Matt Waters (vocals, saxophone), Tom O'Donnell (guitar), Matthew Solberg (bass), and Tyler Cox (drums), the band quickly parlayed local acclaim into a deal with Crucial Blast, which first reissued their 2003 debut, City of Dis, and then followed it with their sophomore Perfect Picture of Wisdom and Boldness in 2005. An EP, Holocene #6, was released in 2007.
