> THRESHOLD TOUR STARTING
British progressive metallers Threshold are on tour next week across Europe, supported by fellow prog metallers Serenity and Spheric Universe Experience. Threshold's keyboard player Richard West recently checked in from rehearsals:
"Greetings from all of us down here in Windsor! We're off on the road one final time to promote Dead Reckoning and celebrate 20 years of Threshold. As most of you know Damian Wilson recently confirmed he's officially back with the band, he's been touring with us for the last two years and it's amazing to work with him again, he's such a good front man. The new set's coming together really well, 'Fighting For Breath' and 'The Art Of Reason' sound absolutely huge! There are loads of classics on the list: 'Slipstream', 'Pilot In The Sky Of Dreams', 'Mission Profile', 'Long Way Home', 'Consume To Live', even 'Paradox' is on there! These should be our best live shows ever and our last tour for a while, so I hope you'll come down and spend an evening with us."
