On the one year anniversary of the passing of former vocalist Andrew 'Mac' McDermott, UK progressive metallers THRESHOLD have uploaded some previously unseen footage of one of McDermott’s last performances with the band as a tribute to him.

In the video McDermott performs the track ‘Mission Profile’ at the Z7 in Switzerland on September 17th, 2004. Check it out below:

Threshold will release their upcoming ninth studio album - the follow-up to 2007’s Dead Reckoning - on August 24th via Nuclear Blast Records.

The record is entitled March Of Progress and was recorded and produced in Thin Ice Studios (DRAGONFORCE, PENDRAGON) by band members Karl Groom and Richard West with additional production at Eightspace Studio (LEAGUE OF LIGHTS, THE MORNING AFTER). Vocal duties on March Of Progress have been performed by Threshold's original front man Damian Wilson (STAR ONE, HEADSPACE), who's been back touring with the band since the release of Dead Reckoning.
