THRESHOLD: Behind-The-Scenes Footage From Making Of 'Staring At The Sun' Video

March 20, 2013

A few months ago, British progressive metallers THRESHOLD kicked off a fan video contest for the song "Staring At The Sun", taken from their album "March Of Progress". In the end, the amazing effort by Achim Bieler from Germany saw him winning the competition.

Since the winner of the contest was announced, THRESHOLD and Achim conceived a plan to shoot additional footage in order to edit a new, even more impressive version of the video. For this, vocalist Damian Wilson met Achim and his crew in South Germany to record the new footage. The magnificent outcome — the new, official video clip for "Staring At The Sun" — can be seen below.

But it doesn't stop here... Achim also edited a highly entertaining "making of 'Staring At The Sun'" video that lets us take a look behind the scenes of the set and grants us detailed insight on the post-production process.

THRESHOLD's ninth studio album, "March Of Progress", was released on August 31, 2012 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" was 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.

THRESHOLD is:

Damian Wilson - Vocals
Karl Groom - Guitar
