New posts on the official website of the band Threshold tells us that Nick Midson (guitarist) is taking a break from the band. Member Karl Groom commented: "Nick has been thinking about this for a while. It's largely driven by wanting a break from touring and promotional activities. I'm still in contact with him regularly and we live 5 minutes from each other. The way is open for Nick to return for future albums and he is considering it."

Nick Midson is one of the founding members of Threshold. He is not featured on the band's forthcoming album, Dead Reckoning, and a replacement guitarist for the band's live shows will be announced later.

The following message was posted by the band on their official website:

"The last two months have been hectic, but we've had a blast. The headlining tour in Europe went over expactations and we'd like to thank Wintersun and Tyr, as well as our European crew and of course everyone who came to the shows. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
After the last show in Hamburg we flew straight to Detroit to join Children of Bodom, Gojira and Sanctity on the North American leg of the tour and although it was taxing and with some off stage problems, the tour was nothing but awesome and successful for us! It was great to see the support we got every night and we want to thank you fans for that."

They are having some time off from the band, but later this month they will start preparing for the Scandinavian leg, and on the 25th they'll start shooting the second video for the new album. "Cry Of The Blackbirds" is the chosen song.
