- The first track in Dead Reckoning, the latest album by the UK's top prog metal band, Threshold.
This amazing song is a masterful blend between Threshold's distinctive sound, melodious progressive harmonies, and death metal elements.
Aggressive riffs, beautiful composition, and the amazing voices of both Andrew "Mac" McDermott (who has very regrettably left the band) and guest vocalist Dan Swäno shine together in a match made in the heavens!
This song gives me goosebumps by the time it gets to the end. Every time. What a tragedy that the world lost Mac. I like Damian too, but Mac was something special.
Also genius lyrics by West. As well as in Light and Space. Always deep insight in a great creative mind
RIP Mac! You're probably the best unknown singer in the whole rock/metal world....you should have deserve stardom....life is unfair.rest in peace brother
One of those songs you have listen to again and again and again. You don't stop until you know every single tone, every single word, every single riff, every fucking outstanding moment!
You are a fool if you don't like the song!
🤘
IMHO this is a truly great album! One of Threshold's best. It really saddened me when Andy left Threshold...and believe it or not, I just found out today that he died. I, for one, am going to miss his very distinctive crisp and clean vocals. R.I.P. Andy.
Threshold is such an amazing band. Mac is still dearly missed.
There are few bands out there, metal or not that can perform music the way Threshold does. They are clearly a cut above. I wish they were more well known. I've turned quite a few people on to their music, and so far all the feedback I've gotten back is positive. I hope they keep playing and releasing this quality music.
Perfect combination, Threshold and Dan Swano
Only recently discovered Threshold, and it's this song that hooked me. I figure it's not a common addition, but the growling vocals help make the song for me. Very, very nice.
Still unforgotten! Never listened to a better singer, he made music sound easy... it was a joy listening!! So thank's for sharing your passion with us, Mac ...
R.I.P
will be playing this album all day today
Really shocked at Mac's death....got into them after hearing "Clone" when it came out........one of the best rock voices around at the moment...RIP Mac :(
GREAT track! Very addictive one form a supercinetic album. One of my favorite Threshold ones.
Under rated UK Band need more airplay somewhere now !!! \m/
beauty....what a voice!! what a band...!!!
Mac was the hook that got me into this band. It will be hard to get used to Damian's voice.
What do you think of Glynn? Always felt he had unfinished business and doing a great job in my opinion.
threshold is the best. ;-)
great blend of prog n metal. the guys are amazing musicians and songwriters
Never listened to this kind of music, but seeing this band made me turn over :)
First time I heard these guys. And they
rock.
THRESHOLD FOREVER!!!
Greetz from The Netherlands
Professionell guys With goodvibration!!
Have seen these guys for 4 times now in Holland, they were never disappointing, completely awesome...!!!! Collected all signatures, and had some beers with Damien Wilson... :D
Just saw that one of the former vocalists died of kdney Failure. that really sucks. RIP man. Threshold will never be the same without you.
When Mac left Threshold I was disappointed but when he died I was gutted... Indeed it's unfair awesome prog metal singers like Mac and Mike Baker (of "Shadow Gallery") die so young. It hurts to think that they will never again sing in *any* band! :(
... simply one of best songs of rock history
Great
My favourite album by Threshold!!!! Mac was such a great singer!!!!
God, it`s one of the best progressive metal bands in the world.
Opeth + Dream theater + Prototype + Theshold = Pure kick ass progressive
More flawless metal from SWEDEN ...not surprised ...these people play METAL from the heart , always!!!!!!!!
Threshold are a British band.
first time ....I'm stunned !!!! GREATTTTTT +Dan Swano involved !!!
Brutally geniuses!!! What a such amazing and excellent sound
This song soooo rockss!!!!!!!!!!!!
totaly awsme........
I love it!
Let music live ON!
I just learnt about 'Mac's passing' ! God, that's terrible!! He was an amazing singer, I hoped that he would return to the band some day. I should have checked the band's website sooner to find out about mac!
I'm liking this band. Awesome stuff.
I love this song the most!
I have new favorite song!
this song rocks man!! yeah!!
Threshold is amazing. Anyone who is just checking them out: I highly recommend the album Subsurface. While all others are good, Subsurface is their true highpoint.
Amazing song!
very good!
Are you drifting, is there nowhere to go
Life support is down and your systems low
Are you cruising on your secondary cells
Waiting for the bell (oh do you really think so)
Flat line you're illusory mind
Dreams are for the bold and you're not that kind
Disappointment has a house on that road
Best to stay at home (oh do you really think so)
You're safe and warm inside
Your chances pass you by
The question fills your mind
Are you caught in a slipstream
Are you lost in the fog
Can you see through the windscreen
Are you sure it's safe to follow somebody's taillight
Are you already lost
When you get to the daylight
When you recognise the world you walked across
Are you listening with your head in the sand
Drown the words you don't want to understand
'Til the song stops, is it safe to come out
Nobody's about (oh do you really think so)
Too late now there's nowhere to go,
Life support is down and your systems low
And your fuel light said you'll never get home
Now you're all alone (oh do you really think so)
You're scared to stay inside
Your chances pass you by
The question fills your mind
Are you caught in a slipstream
Are you lost in the fog
Can you see through the windscreen?
Are you sure it?s safe to follow somebody's taillight
Are you already lost when you get to the daylight
When you recognise the world you walked across
Penny for the dreams you thought you'd lost
Penny for the dreams you thought you'd see
Penny for the price you thought it cost
Penny for the one you thought you'd be
Pity for the times you kept it all
Pity for the wealth you thought you'd get
Pity for the day your empire falls
Pity for the day your life got caught
Are you caught in a slipstream
Are you lost in the fog
Can you see through the windscreen
Are you sure it's safe to follow somebody's taillight
Are you already lost
When you get to the daylight
When you recognise the world you walked across
Are you caught in a slipstream
Are you lost in the fog
Can you see through the windscreen
Are you sure it's safe to follow somebody's taillight
Are you already lost
When you get to the daylight
When you recognise the world you walked across.
Bravissimi, molto innovativi!
And now Mac is dead. So sad that we will never listen to his voice again. But he´s left us this song and many others.
Masterpiece!
Heard one song by this band and the next thing I know I bought this album. Got some kick ass tracks on it! :D
Pagan's Mind rules! I'm digging Threshold too tho
Glynn doing a perfect job with this song. Mac should be proud.
I greatly enjoyed watchiong them live at De Boerderij in Zoetermeer :D
Wanneer was dat?
WiggyKool ik denk... februari of maart 2009, dus alweer even geleden ;)
Zeg dat. Blijft een goede band!
Welke bands zou je me kunnen aanraden? Ben een beetje nieuw in het metalgebied.
Pfoe, er is zoveel keuze :D Neig je naar rustig, snel, hard, vuig,...?
Moredhel1983
Hard, maar wel melodisch. Lekker ritmisch, en afgewisseld met scheurende gitaren en solo's. En af en toe atmosferische black/pagan metal ertussendoor :P
Masterpiece
you are the reason why i booked last time the 70000 tons of metal cuise! Would you please come bach on tour of south Germany - best date is tuesday and wednesday!!!!!
Essa é uma das bandas mais legais e originais do metal progressivo.
Nao cópia ninguem e tem um estilo proprio.
this song rules
Killer!!!
I actually met the leadsinger Damian at Beurs in Rotterdam with a Within Temptation concert :D He seems like a really nice guy ^^
Rocks!!!!!!
One of those albums you can't just listen to one song off of, you gotta listen to the whole thing.
Absolutely right. Killer album
Plz plz plz plz Tour Denver CO!!!!!!
@shenkeey Yeah! Because they sure had voices of angels ;)
'DO YOU REALLY THINK SO?' epic
Nice
WHO WOULD FREAKING DISLIKE??
Threshold made fantastic music I don't know a bad song.
It's true so true! I saw someone saying they tried to make a list of good songs of theirs they could send to a friend and ended up listing 80 songs! Because as they tried to pick the best ones to recommend just kept adding to it haha. So now I just say listen to every album and every song cos you won't be disappointed.
@naykidice I don't know what you're talking about... Mike Baker is singing in the Lord's choir right now and for eternity! :)
R.I.P. Andrew ''Mac'' McDermott :(
It tells Mike's story too... Don't ever cry just remember...
@FormerlyMrBean667 I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Personally I favour 01011001 over the Universal Migrator, and those slightly over The Human Equation, though some people are the complete opposite.
The first part has a very Pink Floyd atmosphere to it, and if you're in the mood to chill or driving late at night, it sounds amazing (I love My House on Mars and The Shooting Company of Francis B Cocq most of all). Part 2 is more active and has sweet vocalists (Allen, Dickinson) and also Michael Romeo.
yaaaay
I was trying to think up a cool name for a band.
Came up with threshold.
Quick search on Wikipedia shows I am too late.
Quick search of youtube shows I'm okay with that.
Anyone noticed strange similarities between this song from Threshold and "A Rite Of Passage" from Dream Theater, especially on the chorus. I know, i know, "Slipstream" was released before "A Rite Of Passage".
@TheBrane
Hey snotly... Maybe is you that are a little motionless ?
30 years of rock and it is still in my mind as Zeppelin, Purple, VH, Asia, Rush, Maiden ..........
But we (old people) also have to take a look to new generation and understand when they are suggesting something good and different
Open Yourself
Rip Andrew
thats right =>
He has an amazing voice, tcastro131. Just because you enjoy growling doesn't mean it makes for good music.
@Maddolis
Shows how much I know about Ayreon...
I've only got Human Equation and 01011001.
Time to get Universal Migrator!
7 people let chances pass them by.
2021
This guy needs to sing on Ayreon.
Don't get me wrong, I think Damian Wilson is a very good vocalist, but (and this is just mho) I think Andy Macdermott has such a distinct voice that he runs circles around Damian. Regardless, a great song from a very underrated band.
Mac...
The death grunts are new for this album, none of the others have them.
R.I.P.
Sounds like sky fall theme :) \m/
Their old vocalist Damian Wilson was on Arjen's other project, Star One, for what it's worth
I always thought Wilson would be sweet on Ayreon. But meh, Lucassen picks awesome vocalists for all his albums nonetheless.
R.I.P
@FormerlyMrBean667 and ConsecratedOblivion, I know your comments are 8 months old but I hope you realise by now that Wilson has sung on The Universal Migrator, both parts 1 and 2.
Now theirs 8
Is it the same Threshold that compose Half The man for x-men first class??
Meh, it just says that Swano is involved. But it doesn't say whether he's doing the actual growling part; I've only heard his country girl cover and his work with Steel, so if he can growl, he'd have an incredible range.
@naykidice They'll sing in an awesome band accompanied by Jesus, God and Satan :D
Really?
Sweet.
Both words describe halo 2 -_-.
@mtr212milan I know how a lot of people would disagree with me, but I know a good bit of old music- however I prefer some of the newer stuff to the 70s and 80s.
A little mainstream stuff, a little non- I listen to Old Mainstream, New Mainstream, New Non-mainstream, and very little Old Non-mainstream.
I disagree with anybody that says one version is better than the others. It's all opinion :)
Dislike? DISLIKE??????!?!?! THERES 7 FREAKING DISLIKES ON THIS???????
DT fans lol
@mtr212milan if you could tell that to my dad he stop making fun of the music i listen to
@ReBornLive83 Thumbs up if you think this video needs way more views.
@FormerlyMrBean667 He wont :(
@HerrUhyre THAT'S THE JOKE!
@flippinfl00b THAT'S THE JOKE!
This singer left?
I used to love DT but they've lost their way and bands like this have picked up the slack.
