Dweller On The Threshold is the fourth full-length album by San Fernando Valley, California-based Latin Rock band Tribe of Gypsies. It was written and recorded off and on between late 2000 and early 2006 with different personnel. The first sessions took place mere weeks after getting off the road in the U.S. with Santana; the last song to be completed was 'Stop Bombing Each Other!' in early spring of '06.
It marks the debut of new lead vocalist Chas West (ex-Jason Bonham Band) and guitarist Christian Byrne who contributed bass on the album in addition to regular four-stringer, Juan Perez. Roy Z makes his lead vocal debut on La Hora and the Japanese bonus track, En El Mar, both sung in Spanish.
The album contains a cover of Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, originally released on the eponymous 1978 debut album by Van Halen.
