For the Journey

Just about everything that you ve read before about THRESHOLD will have classified them as a Progressive Metal group. Countless international reviewers and even their own press biographies have bandied around the term with no genuine fear of contradiction.

Ten albums into a career that began in London's leafy suburbs back in 1989, it s time this situation was reassessed. Sure, Heavy Metal and Progressive Rock are the cornerstones of the group s sound, but as proven by the consummate quality of their last several albums, THRESHOLD are a classic Hard Rock band, built upon high-quality musicianship, enormous quantities of musical light and shade and, above all, memorable, hummable songs.

Despite amassing a ten-album catalogue THRESHOLD have never sounded fresher, brighter or more essential. Whilst sales of popular music continue to diminish, 'March Of Progress' was the band s most popular record by a considerable margin.

The various band members are involved in an array of high profile outside projects, but with respect to such endeavours, it s coming back to THRESHOLD that really feels like home. 'As much as everyone loves being away, it s still the biggest thrill,' Wilson sums up.

'For The Journey' is the latest remarkable record by a remarkable band. Just do yourselves a favour: Leave the term 'Prog-Metal' at the door.
