THRESHOLD: 'Best-Of' Collection Due In November

September 7, 2007

Inside Out Music will release a "best-of" collection from U.K. progressive metallers THRESHOLD in November. Entitled "The Ravages of Time", the two-CD set includes important compositions and classics by the band, among them the lavish "Sanity's End", which effortlessly takes the 10-minute hurdle and proves that THRESHOLD always allow their albums enough space to breathe. "You can't judge our songs with a stopwatch," guitarist Karl Groom explained some years ago, accounting for the fact that expansive arrangements are part of his band’s concept, as numbers such as "Falling Away", "The Art Of Reason", "A Tension of Souls", "Innocent", "Fragmentation", and the haunting "Oceanbound", with its memorable line "Let the sky become an ocean pull me in above my head" prove. Then there are previously unreleased radio edits of "Slipstream" and "Pilot in the Sky of Dreams" from their current album release, "Dead Reckoning", which arrived at the stores in spring 2007, plus rare radio versions of the classics, "Pressure" and "Exposed", which confirm that THRESHOLD's numbers lose none of their fascination even in this condensed format.
