thresh·olds

Thresholds is the second full-length studio album from Florida death metal band Nocturnus. It was released in 1992 by Earache Records and follows the band's debut album The Key. Thresholds continued the experimental sound created on the first album and the line-up was expanded to a six-piece with the addition of a vocalist – allowing Mike Browning to concentrate solely on drums. Lyrical topics range from opener "Climate Controller", "Aquatica" and "Gridzone".. "Tribal Vodoun" is about primitive religions and voodoo, while "Subterranean Infiltrator" is inspired by the Metal Gear video game series. The production of Thresholds is not considerably more polished than that of The Key. The music is also more complex and mature. The time signature changes at least once in every song and there are numerous breakdowns and tempo changes in every song. The band's musicianship has also advanced. Guitarists Mike Davis and Sean McNenney play longer, more melodic but even more technical solos. Mike Browning's drumming has become more technical and precise than it was on The Key, not to mention his drum tone has improved. Louis Panzer's keyboard lines are more complex and he even takes solos on a few songs. The bass is much more audible than on The Key and is also highly technical. Dan Izzo's vocals are much deeper and clearer than Mike Browning's, often compared to the vocals of Max Cavalera of Sepultura.
