CLONE

I have to agree with "Melomaniac" that having "Mac" on board as the singer for THRESHOLD was a good move. I'm a big Damien Wilson fan but Mac's vocals seem to really suit this music.This record is pretty much a riff laden, in your face, metal-fest.

The guitar riffs and solos reminded me of JUDAS PRIEST(dual lead guitars too) on four different occasions, I felt this right away on the opening of "Freaks" a song that is riff heaven. "Angels" is one of my favourites. It's a great prog tune with time changes and mood shifts, lots of keyboards and guitars. Check out the heavy riffs before 3 minutes. "The Latent Gene" features some atmosphere to open and then the riffs come in. Some good vocal harmonies and heavy riffs throughout.The vocals with the riffs sound awesome !

"Lovelorn" is a slower paced, heavy tune with a wicked guitar solo. Amazing tune ! "Change" features a really good guitar passage that is both soaring and screaming. "Life's Too Good" is another favourite of mine. It's powerful and atmospheric with different paced riffs, an amazing song ! "Goodbye Mother Earth" is surprise ! A riff-fest ! "Voyager II" doesn't do as much for me as the others, it's slower paced with a keyboard solo. Still a good tune. The last song "Sunrise On Mars" doesn't sound at all like the previous songs, it's my least favourite.

If your into music that features a great vocalist with lots of powerful riffs, then check out "Clone".
