Short but Perfect!

 
 
Threshold - Midnight Dreamer


The Band: Threshold.

Doug Schumacher – Vocals/Keyboards.
Kicho Forrest – Guitars/Vocals.
Tim Burke – Guitars.
E-Bone Sundseth – Drums.
Tom Smith – Bass.
 

Threshold from Washington, USA, must not be confused with fellow progressive metallers Threshold from the United Kingdom. They play the same style of music, but unlike the UK band, these guys never enjoyed the same success. They only released one EP in 1993, with 5 tracks plus a live track, before disappearing.

The Release: Threshold/Midnight Dreamer.

The original title of this EP was just Threshold, and it was a private release. In 2009 it was re-released by Retrospect Records under the title Midnight Dreamer. The music is slightly progressive metal power metal with slow-moving songs that sound very different from one another. It’s a great little album, and when you reach the end, you just wish that the band did a proper full-length release. This is definitely worth checking out!
