Formed in the late 1980s, British progressive metal frontrunners THRESHOLD combined influences of heavy metal and prog rock to craft their very own trademark style that was a far cry from the typical contemporary sound. Their highly acclaimed debut album "Wounded Land" was released in 1993, followed-up by "Psychedelicatessen" (1994), "Extinct Instinct" (1997), "Clone" (1998), "Hypothetical" (2001), "Critical Mass" (2002), and "Subsurface" (2004), accompanied by tours with combos such as DREAM THEATER, PSYCHOTIC WALTZ and PAIN OF SALVATION. 2007 saw the release of the band's successful Nuclear Blast debut "Dead Reckoning" (#30 UK Indie Charts, #37 UK Rock Charts, #64 Germany, #95 Netherlands) - shortly afterwards, original singer Damian Wilson rejoined THRESHOLD for a period of extensive touring, replacing former vocalist Andrew "Mac" McDermott, who sadly passed away on the 3rd of August 2011.
