Track by track
The intro track, Ashes, sets the album’s tone of utter devastation. Building with a crescendo of hate, Ashes chronicles a vengeful army literally burning everything in it’s path! “Ashes pierce the heavens, fire lights the sky…” Prophets Of The Apocalypse scream their battle cry and are ready for a Metal invasion.

Maze Of Doom,
the album’s second track, is a twisted saga of a guard leading an evil
queen through a seemingly endless labyrinth of castle halls. Pete
Serro’s lyrics paint a descriptive picture in the vein of an Edgar Allan
Poe short story. The guard’s madness eventually takes over his mind in
conjunction with a swirling guitar fury.
Burn The Dead,
envisions Barbarians clashing on the battlefield, in rivers of blood.
The bodies of the dead, piled high & burning once the siege is over.
Old School Thrash & Death Metal chant the chorus, Burn The Dead!
Shield Maiden, the album’s shortest song, vibes with technical, Old School Death Metal. Shield Maiden
pays tribute to the Valkyrie & other female warriors who blaze
their paths of destruction, melded with brutal riffs & melodic
guitars.
Trophies Of War creeps in slowly, evolving into pure Black Metal chaos. Maybe the darkest song on Threshold Of War, Trophies Of War
deals with inner battles including pain, loneliness, and the passing of
time. This song escalates into blistering technical mayhem.
The Threshold Of War journey continues with the song Dead Winter Night.
Thrash meets Melodic Death Metal and technical riffing. The lyrics
depict an army battling the frozen winter night as they try to stay
alive and invade their enemy.
Hierarchy Of Terror portrays a wicked ruler, espionage, and the horrors within the castle walls. Prophets Of The Apocalypse meld their unique style of Black Metal and Thrash accompanying furious drums and psychotic guitars.
Ancient Wars is the only instrumental song on the Threshold Of War album. Prophets The Apocalypse illustrate their Old School Death Metal roots along with their technical prowess.
Clouds thunder, as War Gods laugh… Prophets Of The Apocalypse
strike again with their bloody depiction of medieval battle in the
song, Never Retreat, Never Surrender. Thrash and Death Metal unite to
spin another tale of war and strife.
Crush Thy Enemy
is an epic anthem of war from the Threshold Of War album. Prophets Of
The Apocalypse call upon their legions of warriors to rise up and
destroy their foe metaphorically, if not physically. Pete Serro’s guitar
solos are haunting, and the bass breakdown will slay your soul.
Skye Ablaze
sketches an epic battle along the shores of a town under invasion.
Choking up blood with smoke filled eyes, surrounded with fire and the
frenzy of combat. Prophets Of The Apocalypse assault of guitars will overrun your village, while the unyielding drums of war will beat you into defeat.
