Legends of the Shires is the eleventh studio album by progressive metal band Threshold, released on September 8, 2017. It is the first album to feature vocalist Glynn Morgan since the band's second album Psychedelicatessen in 1994; Morgan returned to Threshold following Damian Wilson's departure in 2017.
The album is a concept album about "a nation trying to find itself" according to lyricist Richard West. However, they admit that their intent in many cases was to have 2 different parallel stories or interpretations—for example, in addition to the nation-based theme, that the songs be just as applicable on a personal level.
