THRESHOLD: Guitarist NICK MIDSON Takes A Break

January 12, 2007

U.K. progressive metallers THRESHOLD have announced that guitarist Nick Midson will be taking a break from the band.

Commented guitarist Karl Groom: "Nick has been thinking about this for a while. It's largely driven by wanting a break from touring and promotional activities. I'm still in contact with him regularly and we live five minutes from each other. The way is open for Nick to return for future albums and he is considering it."

Nick Midson is one of the founding members of THRESHOLD. He does not feature on the band's forthcoming album, "Dead Reckoning", and a replacement guitarist for the band's live shows will be announced later.

"Dead Reckoning" is scheduled for release on March 23, 2007 release via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD was produced by guitarist Karl Groom and keyboardist Richard West at Thin Ice Studios. The track listing is as follows:

01. Slipstream
02. This Is Your Life
03. Elusive
04. Hollow
05. Pilot in the Sky of Dreams
06. Fighting For Breath
07. Disappear
08. Safe To Fly
09. One Degree Down

Swedish multi-instrumentalist/producer Dan Swanö (EDGE OF SANITY, NIGHTINGALE, SECOND SKY, BLOODBATH) laid down backing vocals on the CD's opening song, "Slipstream", and the third track, "Elusive".
