THRESHOLD: New Audio Interview With KARL GROOM

July 27, 2012

Steel And Fire recently conducted an interview with guitarist Karl Groom of British progressive metallers THRESHOLD. You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.

The official lyric video for "Ashes", a brand new song from THRESHOLD, can be seen below. (Please note that the single version of "Ashes" is a radio edit — the album version of the track offers about two additional minutes of "pure splendor," according to a press release.) The song is also available as a free download via the official THRESHOLDband page on the Nuclear Blast web site.

"Ashes" comes off THRESHOLD's ninth studio album, "March Of Progress", which will be released on August 31 via Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to 2007's "Dead Reckoning" was recorded at Thin Ice Studios (DRAGONFORCE, PENDRAGON) by bandmembers Karl Groom and Richard West, with additional production at Eightspace Studio (LEAGUE OF LIGHTS, THE MORNING AFTER). Vocal duties on "March Of Progress" were performed by THRESHOLD's original frontman Damian Wilson (STAR ONE, HEADSPACE),who's been back touring with the band since the release of "Dead Reckoning".

"March Of Progress" will be made available in a limited-edition digipak, including a bonus track; a standard jewel case edition; as well as in a two-vinyl edition in two different colors, one of them exclusively available via the Nuclear Blast mail order.
