Threshold wounded land 1993 full album
Wounded Land is the debut album from British progressive metal band Threshold, released in 1993. It is the first of three non-consecutive albums to feature vocalist Damian Wilson, who returned for 1997's Extinct Instinct and 2012's March of Progress, and the only one to feature Tony Grinham on drums. It was rereleased as a Special Edition in 2001 by InsideOut Music & 2012's definitive edition by Nuclear Blast.
Contents
The songs deal with the issues of environmental destruction, drug abuse, the Gulf War and, in the bonus track "Intervention," the Bosnian War.
Track listing
Track "Intervention" appears on both the 2001 Inside Out Special Edition and the 2012 Nuclear Blast Definitive Edition. Tracks "Conceal the Face" & "Shifting Sands" appear on the latter rerelease.
"Intervention" first appeared on a Dutch progressive rock compilation album in 1992 and was the band's first professional release. "Conceal the Face" and "Shifting Sands" are rerecordings of songs from their 1991 demo "Cult of the Immortal;" both songs previously appeared on the 2009 "Paradox" box set.
Additionally, the 2001 Special Edition release of the album contains demo recordings of "Paradox" and "Days of Dearth" from this album, and the early song "Conceal the Face," which appeared on the single for Paradox and eventually saw release in acoustic form on the fan club album, Wireless. Each of the demo recordings features singing from Jon Jeary, the band's original bassist and lead vocalist.
