'''''Wounded Land''''' is the debut [[album]] from [[United Kingdom|British]] [[progressive metal]] band [[Threshold (band)|Threshold]], released in [[1993]]. It is the first of two non-consecutive albums to feature vocalist [[Damian Wilson]], who returned for 1997's ''[[Extinct Instinct]]'', and the only one to feature [[Tony Grinham]] on drums. It was rereleased as a Special Edition in [[2001]].

The songs deal with the issues of environmental destruction, drug abuse, the [[Gulf War]] and, in the bonus track "Intervention," the [[Bosnian War]].
