After releasing four albums throughout the 90s, Threshold signed with InsideOut, one of the leading labels in the progressive metal world. After releasing three albums, "Hypothetical" (2001), "Critical Mass" (2002), and "Subsurface" (2004), they moved to the major German label Nuclear Blast.

Meanwhile, the heavy parts are heavier, and the melodic parts are more melodic, further refining their strengths.
