Popular or not popular God has gifted Threshold to me, what a privilege to have found this amazing band in May 2020 during covid19 lockdowns in Australia. Hope the boys make it down under some time.
Such an amazing and unique vocalist, he is missed and never forgotten by his fans. He started with backing vocals for Letter X and Fair Warning, then sang lead for Sargant Fury. But Andrew really came into his own in Threshold, because he could do much more with diverse emotions in those songs.
I was of this opinion, until they released Dividing Lines in 2022. This is their peak for me. Glynn I feel is paying homage to Mac with his vocals, while also delivering the emotion of Damian. Musically, I think Dividing Lines is as good or better than Subsurface
Mac sounded like a James LaBrie with a proper technique and like if he never had that food poisoning... I can somehow imagine him singing "Pull Me Under" flawlessly.
I have only just discovered this band via Spotify, I love this song! I have been playing it all week! Devastated reading the comments that this terrific vocalist is no longer with us? I have just gone from a tremendous high, to a horrific low in a matter of minutes. God bless you, RIP. xx
I notice everyone can't stop talking about Mac. I'm in that group too. Threshold is still top shelf musical band but damn I sure do miss Mac as vocalist also. All the guys in the band including all the vocalists are still very good and fit the band as well. Mac was just Mac. One of those things. Hats off to them all !
in i think 2005 a colleague gave me a CD with subsurface because it´s "kind of dream theater". I didn´t really listen to it. Now 14 year later i re-discovered it and now i am playing it like everyday in my Car. Absolutely brilliant
I'm very happy to say that Threshold was my first "real" metal concert when i was teenager. And it was at this tour. They played Fragmentation and The Ravages Of Time among others. I realized later the chance i had!
From Buenos Aires argentina Los amo!!. TREMENDA BANDA, por mas cantantes que hayan cambiado.. el estilo de metal progresivo no se alteró, Ojalá sigan rockeando y puedan venir a Buenos Aires, para verlos y vibrar con ustedes.. les deseo lo mejor de la vida.. los escucho todos mis días por todas las plataformas.. abrazos👍🎸🤟❤🤙👏💪💪💪💪💪
Threshold with Mac was sensational. Subsurface is essential, their best effort.So sad I never had a chance to see them live with him.This band never had the success they deserved, everyone is claiming dream theater is THE metal prog band but threshold or queensryche of the 80s/90s are far better. DT only had 2 strong albums while those have offerered multiple excellent albums
Dream Theater didn't only have 2 strong albums. They are still the best progmetal band for me. I love Threshold though. You can always count on their new album being at least as good as their last one. However, I don't understand why everyone praises Queensryche so much. A few good songs, yes. But I don't find too much progmetal in there.
Threshold was one of the reasons I bought tickets to the 2007 edition of ProgPower USA in Atlanta, and I was disappointed that Mac left the band, although it is understandable in retrospect. Still, I wish I had been able to see him live once, as he was amazing. The band isn't really the same without him.
Mac's memory will live on forever, I was so sad when I first heard of the news of his passing, R.I.P. This is such a killer performance, everyone was bringing their A game.
I discovered this song today thanks to Spotify. Listened to it some ten times already. Then chanced upon this live version and wanted to say this' vocalist sounds better live only to read that he's no more with us. There was a rainbow where I live today. Poetic.
My first Threshold album has been Clone and when I heard it I simply fell in love with Mac's voice!!! PURE ENERGY!!! KEEP ON ROCKIN' WITH THE ANGELS MAC!!!!! YOU WILL REMAIN IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER!!!
Had this man been born 20 years earlier, I've no doubt Robert Plant or David Coverdale may have been out of jobs. Shame the only live experience I ever got with this lineup was the Critical Energy DVD. You've a big job ahead of you Mr. Damian Wilson - best of luck to you (and looking forward to the new album)!
Me too mate - I never new Threshold were such an amazing BRITISH prog metal band until I heard Dead Reckoning which still blows me away even now - I am optimistic for March of Progress as single is great and Damian has never sounded better!! RIP Mac Welcome Damian and the new era of Threshold
Having only just discovered Threshold in the last 6 months or so, they are now one of my favourite bands and this is one of my favourite songs of all time - who would've known back then that this song would foretell the state of society today and the agenda of the globalists...
Mac helped me get through cancer. Rolled up in a ball going through chemo, but had my Threshold cranked to 11. Fuck'em if they couldn't take a joke. Mac you are missed, and thought of constantly !!!
Still miss his voice. Powerful. Emotional. Amazing. R.I.P.
Oh man, I do. I listen to his records on a weekly basis.
Totally agree with you. Man I miss him !
Mac. Wherever you are now. Your fans didn't forget about you.
Rip you magnificent bastard

This music is so much better then all those crappy Grammy bands.
Very well said !

this was Threshold at their best. They're still good but will not surpass this period. RIP Mac
I can't listen to Threshold without Mac... :-(
Totally agree with you !!!
Fully agree. RIP Mac!
This was their prime. But I have high hopes for their new album in 2022

Legend, bestets voice's for centuries Mac and Dio!
A band with 3 wonderful vocalists. Now beat THAT!!! \,,/
...and without bad albums. Granted, some are better than others, but the most "lackluster" album for me still gets a 7/10
10 years gone... still remembering and missing you, Mac.
Their drummer has always made his work look so effortless, smooth! Awesome!
My God! I can't believe yet, Mac took threshold to another level, absolutely amazing, RIP Mac missing you a lot God Bless you buddie.
I MISS HIS AMAZING BEAUTIFUL FANTASTIC POWERFUL VOICE♥
R.I.P MAC ♥
Yes incredible voice he had. Didn't abuse it. Very fine tuned perfect voice.
Jamila You are sooo big fan :)))
What A great voice!! 7 years gone..
Threshold will always be one my favorite bands..
Mac sounded like a James LaBrie with a proper technique and like if he never had that food poisoning... I can somehow imagine him singing "Pull Me Under" flawlessly.
Here's to Mac and the wonderful music he gave us.
I have only just discovered this band via Spotify, I love this song! I have been playing it all week!
Devastated reading the comments that this terrific vocalist is no longer with us?
I have just gone from a tremendous high, to a horrific low in a matter of minutes. God bless you, RIP. xx
What a voice he had. The perfect frontman for the band.

All the guys in the band including all the vocalists are still very good and fit the band as well. Mac was just Mac. One of those things. Hats off to them all !
Why are This guys so underrated?
One of music's biggest mysteries
Because they didn't get the exposure of bands like DT.
my favorite singer R.I.P. Mac ... what a performance!!

Para verdaderos gourmets de la música.
metal will never be the same; we miss you mac!
You're right
May he rest in peace
One of the greatest voices in rock..will never forget the 4 times i saw him live with Threshold..sadly missed
This song and its message remains one of the most powerful of Threshold, and Mac's delivery is so incredible...we will always remember him.

from my home town. mac was a few years younger than me at school. did not realise he was in music business. fab voice
Great vocalist.
This footage with Mac is great! Hope more of this surfaces in the future... He was my fav Threshold singer.
Mac's memory will live on forever, I was so sad when I first heard of the news of his passing, R.I.P. This is such a killer performance, everyone was bringing their A game.
Perfection. SOund like a playback, incredible!
This and Silenced are the only songs by this band I've heard. They're great songs.
Each passing day, Mac keeps sounding better and better.
You shall be missed, mate.
Awesome how Mac's voice rip through the intense mix of keys plus 2 guitars. May he RIP!

1 more year without MAC :(
We miss you.....

RIP Mac, your music will continue touch our lives everywhere in the world
He would be 50 years old today.
no 53
The man could sing flawless at concert. He was brilliant!
Mac-forever!
Mac was unbelievable! What a voice.
Had this man been born 20 years earlier, I've no doubt Robert Plant or David Coverdale may have been out of jobs. Shame the only live experience I ever got with this lineup was the Critical Energy DVD.
You've a big job ahead of you Mr. Damian Wilson - best of luck to you (and looking forward to the new album)!
Que exelente banda!!!!
