Consortium Project biography
Based in Holland, progressive metal outfit CONSORTIUM PROJECT is the brainchild of vocalist Ian Parry (ELEGY). At first intended as a limited project, the first CD was recorded in 1999 with contributions from guitarists Stephan Lill, Thom Youngblood, Tamas Szekeres and Patrick Rondat, bass players Barend Courbois, Martin Helmantel, Arjen Lucassen, drummer Dirk Bruinenberg, pianist Jan Vayne and keyboardist Tommy Newton. The finished album was released as "Ian Parry's Consortium Project" to commercial and critical acclaim.
A series of live concerts followed, with a live band consisting of Ian Parry (vocals), Patrick Rondat (guitars), Stephan Lill (guitars), Dirk Bruinenberg (drums), Gunter Werner (keyboards) and Patrice Guers (bass).
The success of this first album quickly lead to the planning of two additional concept albums to be made with CONSORTIUM PROJECT as the project name.
The second production in the series was released in 2001 as "Consortium Project II: Continum in Extremis". Contributing this time were bass players Jan Bijlsma and Patrice Guers, guitarists Stephan Lill, Patrick Rondat and Thomas Youngblood, Dirk Bruinenberg on drums and Gunter Werner on keyboards.
2 years later the third chapter was finished, released as "Consortium Project III: Terra Incognita". For the recording of this album main contributors were guitarist Stephan Lill, bass players Jan Bijlsma and Robert Finan plus Casey Grillo on drums. In addition numerous artists made guest appearances - vocalists Ingeborg Wienten and Brenda Davis, keyboard player Joshua Dutrieux, bass player Marcel van der Zwam, guitarist Mike Chlasciak and backing vocals from Oliver Wright, Jacqueline Kuperus and Judith Rijnveld.
Initially this third album was supposed to be the last chapter in the Consortium Project series; but a continued interest from fans and music journalists alike finally led to the production of a fourth chapter, which was released in 2007 as "Consortium Project IV: Children of Tmorrow". Contributors this time around were Joshua Dutrieux (keyboards, bass, guitar), Ivar de Graaf (drums), guitarists Lou St. Paul, Henk Van Der Laars and Niels Vejlyt, bassist Marcel Van Der Zwam, vocalists Rosita Abbink, Erna Auf Der Haar and Arjo Midema; Kyra Dutrieux had spoken introductions and Roy Patrick Parry added snare drums.
Live concerts were again planned after this release, and a live band consisiting of Parry (vocals), Joshua Dutrieux (keyboards)...read more

Consortium Project III: Terra Incognita (The Undiscovered World)
Consortium Project Progressive Metal
CONSORTIUM PROJECT is the musical fruit of the brain of a very,very talented and,in my
opinion,unjustly underrated musician called IAN PARRY!He has an excellent voice and is
known especially because his involvement in the excellent prog metal band ELEGY-now
dismbanded,unfortunatelly!!He made some excellent albums with this Dutch combo-
MANIFESTATION OF FEAR-is a little masterpiece-a concept album of a very high quality!Now,it
seems that IAN has finally found his way with CONSORTIUN PROJECT-a very ambitious
musical propject where Ian is pushing his creative limits to the prog metal terrotory with each
album!It's difficult to say which CONSORTIUM PROJECT albums is the best,because all have
a great level of technicity, and musicality-you get exactly what you expect and you are never
dissapointed with any new CP album!That's the same situation with this third opus-a very
enjoyable and likeble journey in IAN PARRY'S universe.TERRA INCOGNITA ssems to be a true
all star project-just look at the list of the impressive musicians involved in the project and you'll
realise that it's impossible to have a weak album with so many big names on it!Musically
speaking -it reminds a little about ELEGY-but it's more bombastic-the keyboards have a very
important role in this music!Excellent addition in the collection of any prog metal lover and the
prove thet an excellent voice and a good composer can offer excellent music to the prog metal
amateurs,without any compromise!4,5 STARS and congratulations!

Special Collaborator Neo Prog/Xover Teams & Band Submissions
Chapter 4 in the Consortium Project is a classy release.Melodic power metal is the name of the game here, with relatively short tracks that mix slow to mid-paced guitar riffs with synths, tight bass and drums underscoring. Several vocalists contribute, but the passionate vocals of Ian Parry dominate; the other vocalists here mainly add some variation.
The tunes are well written, the guitar chops are interesting and the synth work adds moods and atmosphere in a very nice way. Catchy and melodic choruses see to it that most songs are memorable, making the songs easy to get into.
Nothing new and unique here, but worth checking out by fans of high quality melodic power metal.
