Threshold House is one of several record labels created by Coil to release their own work and that of affiliated projects.[1] Associated labels include Eskaton[2] and Chalice.[3] It is also the name for the official Coil website.
The label was initially a vanity label of sorts, as all releases were manufactured and distributed by other labels, most prominently World Serpent Distribution.[4] Following the bankruptcy of World Serpent,[5] the label continued independently.
The logo for Threshold House is a castle-like building, possibly what Coil have referred to as "The East Tower" in past interviews, and a moon. It is also very similar to artist recreations of the buildings at Catalhoyuk.
After the death of John Balance[6][7] and the disbanding of Coil, Peter Christopherson started a solo effort, The Threshold HouseBoys Choir, based on the name Threshold House.[8]
