THRESHOLD - Release 2024 Remixes Of Wounded Land And Psychedelicatessen

Formed in leafy Surrey in the late ’80s, THRESHOLD truly blossomed in the following decade and swiftly established themselves as the U.K.’s chief progressive metal standard bearers. From 1993’s Wounded Land debut onwards, the enduring creative core of guitarist Karl Groom and keyboard maestro Richard West constructed a unique strain of heavy progressive music, combining incisive melodies, thought-provoking lyrics, and intricate but thunderous arrangements. THRESHOLD have marched inexorably forward across three decades of creative fervor, arguably hitting a new peak of potency on the conceptual and musical feast of 2017’s Legends Of The Shires.

With vocalist Glynn Morgan back in the fold, the Brits’ enduring line-up of Groom, West, drummer Johanne James, and bassist Steve Anderson somehow pushed themselves to new heights receiving widespread critical acclaim. The band’s latest (and 12th) studio album, Dividing Lines, was darker, heavier, and even more adventurous than its predecessor, boasting some of the most wildly inventive and melodically potent material they have ever recorded.

Now the band has embarked on a comprehensive re-issue campaign of their earlier releases, newly remixed and remastered in 2024 including fresh new vinyl formats and CDs with bonus material.

Kicking off with the aforementioned debut Wounded Land (featuring Damian Wilson on vocals) and ‘1994’s Psychedelicatessen (where Glynn Morgan was recruited to front the band). The band will also embark on the career-spanning  'Threshold Through Time’ tour across Europe this October.

Wounded Land re-issue formats:
- 2LP, trans green, limited 1100 copies
- CD              

Psychedelicatessen re-issue formats:
- 2LP, trans violet, limited 1100 copies
- CD

Osiah Release New Album 'Kairos' via Unique Leader Records

Finishing up a momentous 2023, deathcore quartet Osiah have released their new album 'Kairos' via Unique Leader Records. Accompanying the release, the band shared their new track "The Inherited Sorrow" along with the official music video. 'Kairos' is Osiah's fourth album and the follow-up to their 2021 full-length, 'Loss'. When asked about today's news, the band commented:

"'Kairos' is a true departure from the past with a valiant stride to Osiah's progression. Instrumentally it encapsulates the very essence of us as musicians and lyrically it is inspired by a recent burying of the hatchet, and focusing instead on understanding the concept of mortality. It is fury-fueled, but intelligently constructed, resulting in a sound that is both old and new to fans of Osiah, a perfect introduction or concatenation for those who’ve been with us from the start of our onerous journey."

Stream 'Kairos' here and watch the official video for "The Inherited Sorrow" below.

Hailing from the extreme music melting pot that is the northeast of England, Osiah transcends the deathcore label with what could possibly be the most torturous barrage of filth the UK has produced in recent years. Crushingly intense breakdowns and deathly chops tread a familiar path, but jarringly detuned guitars, unpredictable tempo changes and vocals that range from wide-ranging pitched screams to commanding guttural bowel openers add an extra evil to the sound that cannot be put into words.

After releasing their first EP 'Reborn Through Hate' in 2015, Osiah released their first full-length album ‘Terror Firma’ in June 2016 via Siege Music. The album gained praise from Metal Hammer Magazine, Bloody Disgusting, and many other prestigious publications, cementing the band as the hottest and heaviest band on the UK deathcore scene.

The resulting work lead to the band signing to Unique Leader Records in 2018 and releasing their sophomore album 'Kingdom of Lies' in 2019. In 2021, Osiah released their third album 'Loss' and unleashed their latest EP 'Chronos' in early 2023.

Conceived in the heart of the Norwegian black metal scene in 1993, DIMMU BORGIR quickly broke free from the boundaries of the genre, daring to combine a traditional raven black sound with opulent symphonic orchestration. Soon they turned into pioneers of their field, forging groundbreaking albums such as Enthrone Darkness Triumphant (1997), Spiritual Black Dimensions (1999), or Death Cult Armageddon (2003), invading the entire world with headline tours and eventually turning into the most influential act of their genre after nine full-length studio releases. After their last two successful albums Abrahadabra and Eonian, new music from DIMMU BORGIR follows with their remixed & remastered version of Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia which was originally released in 2001.

Today, DIMMU BORGIR are also releasing their album Northern Forces Over Wacken which was originally available on the Forces Of The Northern Night DVD, on a range of limited edition vinyl available via Nuclear Blast.
