The successor to their 2012 output, March Of Progress, was produced by Karl Groom and Threshold keyboardist Richard West at Thin Ice Studios in England, and mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox in Finland.

Commented Richard West: "For The Journey is one of our strongest albums and one of the most enjoyable to make. I've probably heard it a thousand times during the recording process, but now that's it's over I still can't stop listening to it!“

The cover artwork was created by Polish artist Leszek Bujnowski, who Threshold found on the internet. “He's designed some beautiful pieces and we thought this was a perfect Threshold cover,” stated West.
