About
Threshold, British progressive metal crafted in Surrey since 1988.
Threshold embodies a blend of progressive metal and psychedelic rock that has been evolving since the late 1980s. Founded by Karl Groom, Jon Jeary, Richard West, Damian Wilson, and Tony Grinham, the band’s sound is marked by epic metal tones combined with the structural sophistication of progressive rock. Their music typically explores natural and existential themes over extended track lengths, ranging from six to eleven minutes.
Releases include recent vinyl issues of new material and remixed, remastered editions of earlier albums. Their catalog on vinyl particularly features albums issued on the Nuclear Blast label, spanning from 1994's Psychedelicatessen to new albums like Dividing Lines in 2023.
