THRESHOLD - For The Journey Album Details Revealed

British progressive metal heroes, Threshold, have revealed further info on their upcoming new album, For The Journey. The successor to their 2012 output, March Of Progress, was produced by Karl Groom and Threshold keyboardist Richard West at Thin Ice Studios in England, and mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox in Finland. The album will be released on September 19th via Nuclear Blast.

Commented Richard West: "For The Journey is one of our strongest albums and one of the most enjoyable to make. I've probably heard it a thousand times during the recording process, but now that's it's over I still can't stop listening to it!“

The cover artwork was created by Polish artist Leszek Bujnowski, who Threshold found on the internet. “He's designed some beautiful pieces and we thought this was a perfect Threshold cover,” stated West.

Pre-order no-brainer. Prog Hall of Fame'rs here.

 

[Azrael LenGraden]

Looking forward to it!

Blind buy here.

I'm still having a hard time getting into them without Mac's vocals, but I'll pick this one up.

 

[nightwish58]

I can not wait for this album! Top 3 Prog bands for me of all time. Really hoping Glenn gets them back next year; they definitely deserve a headline spot

 

[AngraRULES]

they definitely deserve a headline spot

Glenn deserves another sellout, so how about NOT give Threshold the headline slot?

I know you're not alone on this one. Personally, I much prefer Damian.

I think this board has a way of distorting a band's popularity. It's easy to lose sight of the fact that the 16 people who love Threshold all post on this forum.

 

[MetalAges]

Can't wait to hear this one (as usual with their releases). I've enjoyed all their vocalists and find that the songwriting itself play a huge part in why I like these guys so much. Extinct Instinct was my fav from them so I feel right at home with Damian back in the fold.

Just not a fan of Threshold with Damian Wilson. Never got around to picking up the last one and probably will ignore this one as well.

The musicianship and songwriting on the last one was great. It just didn't hit me on the vocal side. I'll still give the new one a go.

I spit out my soda.......LOL

But another blind buy for me

 

[eppst1]

Count me in as one of the 16. I'm with Zod, I actually prefer Damian's vocals - just a huge fan of his.

 

[dtfanatic]

I never listened to Threshold with Damian because having been to PPIII Mac was the guy there. But after he died I've quite enjoyed them with Damian. I also believe Headspace is working on a new album too, I'd love to see them BOTH at the fest.

Also hoping NB is one of the vendors so we can pick up For the Journey at the fest.

 

[CD INZANE]

No one sang like Mac! There was just no comparison. Atop this, he was such a nice guy! We got to spend a lot of time with him.

 

[Yippee38]

IMO, Mac was a damn good vocalist, but Damien is a great vocalist. He is one of my top 5 favorite metal vocalists. Even though they seem to be going a direction I don't care for recently (I didn't care for PiTSoD at all), this will probably be a blind buy for me.

 

[nightwish58]

Damian is a vocal god. There is actually no comparison to him IMO. He sings effortlessly and with the utmost passion and conviction. Threshold began with him and hopefully will end with him. Wounded Land = Masterpiece! New album I'm sure will not dissapoint as every Threshold album is superb!

 

[TENTH DREAMER DECEIVER]

Mac always reminded me of Kevin DuBrow. Which is of course a good thing.

 

[Justin G]

Mac always reminded me of Kevin DuBrow.

I do not get that at all.

 

[Everonn]

I do not get that at all.

That comparison had never occurred to me at all, but now I can kind of see what he means by it. There's a certain vocal characteristic that's hard to put into words... I want to call it kind of an effortless, muted scratchiness, but that has the wrong connotation because it's awesome... that both of them use at times as part of their style. They both have a distinctive character in their voice that I always found very compelling. RIP to both.

Damian is awesome in an entirely different way, and I can't wait to hear the new record.
