Threshold Legends of The Shires

Threshold are currently recording their 11th album at Thin Ice Studios in England, a new concept album that will be called LEGENDS OF THE SHIRES. It's being produced by Karl Groom and Richard West and is scheduled to be released in 2017. More information will be revealed soon.

The band has also announced dates for the LEGENDS OF THE SHIRES TOUR 2017 where you'll be able to fully experience songs from the new album on stage.

Richard West comments: "It's great to be announcing these tour dates so soon, we can't wait to get on the road and perform for you. Our new album is coming together perfectly, we've got a lot of strong material so it might be our longest one yet."

THRESHOLD have released the first official picture of their new line-up featuring returning vocalist Glynn Morgan.

The band are currently at Thin Ice Studios in England putting the finishing touches on their new concept album »Legends Of The Shires«. The record is due for release through Nuclear Blast later this year and it will be the band's first ever double album.

Karl Groom commented: "The music just would not stop flowing during the writing process. We decided that while the ideas were of a high standard, we would keep writing and are very excited by what we have."

THRESHOLD will be back on the road across Europe at the end of the year, kicking off in Athens on November 12th and rounding off with a homecoming show in London on December 10th. Glynn Morgan will also play guitar during the shows, which will include tracks from »Legends Of The Shires« as well as plenty of blasts from the past!

UK progressive metal quintet Threshold are shooting a video for their forthcoming single 'Small Dark Lines'. The video will be directed by Sitcom Soldiers LTD at their studios in Bolton, England on Friday 28th July.

The film directors have developed a powerful narrative, involving people from varying backgrounds marking their bodies with paint before water cascades over them to wash away the lines as if wiping the slate clean - so if you want to take part we should warn you that you'll be asked to expose most of your skin. However, we've been assured that it's all being done in the best possible taste. The aesthetics of the video will be heavily stylised and moody, with a large amount of slow motion and cinematic tone.
