THRESHOLD Singer Pulls Out Of This Weekend's Gigs, Previous Vocalist Steps In

July 16, 2007

U.K. progressive metallers THRESHOLD have issued the following update:

"THRESHOLD singer Andrew 'Mac' McDermott has astonished his fellow band members by deciding not to perform at this weekend's Metalcamp and Earthshaker festivals in Slovenia and Germany.

"Fortunately the band's previous singer Damian Wilson has come to the rescue and will perform at the festivals with the band for the first time since 1997.

"Damian Wilson is currently lead singer for the band HEADSPACE who recently supported OZZY OSBOURNE for U.K. shows, including Wembley Arena."

THRESHOLD will embark on the "Live Reckoning Tour" (Part 1) in August/September with support from COMMUNIC, MACHINE MEN and SERENITY. THRESHOLD will also perform at a number of summer and fall festivals, including ProgPower USA and ProgPower Scandinavia.

THRESHOLD's new album, "Dead Reckoning", debuted at the following chart positions in Europe:

Germany: #64
Holland: #95
U.K.: #30 (independent chart)
U.K.: #37 (rock chart)

"Dead Reckoning" has received six "Album of the Month" awards across Europe and Canada. The album was released in the U.S. on April 24.
