Reports from the Threshold of Death  Reports from the Threshold of Death is the second full-length studio album from American art rock band Junius. The record was released in CD (digipak), limited edition Vinyl, and digital download format through Prosthetic Records on October 25, 2011. On March 8, 2011, it was announced that Junius had signed to metal label "Prosthetic Records" and would be recording a new full-length album during the Spring of 2011. During this time, the album was recorded by the band at Will Benoit's Radar Studios, a recording studio that relies entirely on solar energy and other sustainable practices. Producer and close friend of the band, James Dunham, described the two months spent working on the album with the band as his favorite experience as a hired producer, describing it as "truly rewarding". On September 13, 2011, the track listing, album cover, release date, and a full stream of the song "All Shall Float" debuted on the independent music news website "Brooklyn Vegan". Also, a promotional video directed by Matthew Schwab appeared on the homepage of the band's official website, which featured a snippet of the track "Betray the Grave" with background footage of the band rehearsing at "Radar Studios". A full stream of the song "A Universe Without Stars" debuted on Guitar World on October 11, 2011. Eventually, the entire album was made available for streaming exclusively on the band's profile page at AbsolutePunk on October 20, 2011. On October 25, 2011, "Reports from the Threshold of Death" was released worldwide. Music videos were released for "All Shall Float" and "Betray the Grave" respectively. Following the death of Immanuel Velikovsky on "The Martyrdom of a Catastrophist", "Reports from the Threshold of Death" continues the examination of the human spirit by following its journey after death. Joseph Martinez has stated that this album is very personal to the band, as members have lost close friends and family in the recent years leading up to the album's writing and recording. The album's title is a reference to near death experiences, while the album itself is based on the experiences of those who have died and come back. "Reports from the Threshold of Death" was generally well received by critics and fans alike. "Exploding In Sound" called the album "album of the week" for the week of November 1, 2011, stating "If you are a fan of nu-wave, post-rock, post-metal, or pretty much post-anything, there's little chance you won't fall all over yourself loving this beast of an album".
