THRESHOLD
Deutsch:
Die 1988 von Gitarrist Karl Groom in Südengland gegründete Band Threshold war von Anfang an ein einzigartiges Projekt. Angetrieben von jugendlichem Selbstvertrauen und Elan, wurden sie schnell zu Großbritanniens führender Band im Prog Metal. Seit dem Debütalbum "Wounded Land" aus dem Jahr 1993 entwickelte der kreative Kern um Gitarrist Karl Groom und Keyboard-Maestro Richard West eine einzigartige neue Art von schwerer, progressiver Musik, die prägnante Melodien, zum Nachdenken anregende Texte und komplizierte, aber donnernde Arrangements kombiniert. Dass sie das seit jeher erfolgreich umsetzen, beweisen ihre mittlerweile 12 veröffentlichten Alben.
Englisch:
Founded by guitarist Karl Groom in southern England in 1988, Threshold were a unique proposition from the start. Driven forward by youthful confidence and verve, they swiftly became the UK’s premier purveyors of adventurous and progressive metal. Since their debut album "Wounded Land" in 1993, the creative core around guitarist Karl Groom and keyboard maestro Richard West has developed a unique new kind of heavy, progressive music that combines concise melodies, thought-provoking lyrics and complicated but thunderous arrangements. Their 12 released albums prove that they have been doing this successfully ever since.
With Glynn Morgan back in the fold, the Brits’ enduring line-up of Groom, West, drummer Johanne James and bassist Steve Anderson somehow pushed themselves to new heights, receiving widespread acclaim and finding themselves in more demand than ever before. Despite the unavoidable setback of a global pandemic, Threshold arrive in 2022 in the best of health. Following up a newly-minted classic was always going to present Threshold with a challenge, but the band’s twelfth studio album swiftly confirms that the challenge has been met. Darker, heavier and even more adventurous than its predecessor, Dividing Lines reveals a band with a lot on their collective mind, while also boasting some of the most wildly inventive and melodically potent material they have ever recorded.
