EXTINCT INSTINCT

The third Threshold studio album sees Damian Wilson return briefly on vocals, where he shows no sign of rust (having kept busy with Landmarq in the meantime) and lends his emotive style which was such an asset on the band's debut album, Wounded Land. Musically speaking this is of a piece with the band's other first two albums, the band further honing their craft in their chosen brand of prog metal with neo-prog influences rather than significantly evolving their sound at this stage, and whilst theirs might not be the most technically flashy brand of neo-prog out there, it manages to convey such a compelling, emotionally turbulent atmosphere that it grips you to the end. If you like any of their other early works, you'll find much to enjoy here.
