The Lion Music CONSORTIUM PROJECT special
edition reissues series continue on 27th
January 2012 with the powerful second
movement “Consortium Project II - Continuum
in Extremis”. Consisting primarily of 11
progressive melodic power metal tracks,
including a inspirational rock ballad with
additional 2 bonus tracks in demo versions
of “Intrusions Of Madness” and “Poetic
Justice” both discovered in the Consortium
Project archives.
This second movement in the five part story
sees lead vocalist and band mastermind Ian
Parry (Elegy, Crystal Tears) base his
fictional concept story on many of the
present day issues and created a theoretical
idea of a world run by a new singular female
species called NOEFEMS. Ian Parry comments
“I was flicking through pages in the Oxford
English dictionary and it suddenly dawned on
me, that the word feMALE is derived from the
masculine word MALE, and apart from the word
FEMININE, women do not have a word purely of
feminine origin to describe their own
singular gender”, and thus the idea was
born”.
This formidable and awe inspiring story,
incorporates many issues and topics, which
were in the media at the time of original
release in 2001 such as the discovery of the
Human Genome, Global Warming (the Kyoto
agreement ), the issue of human cloning and
also the hysteria we've seen around Reality
T.V. programmes. All these relevant points
have been pieced together with real
historical facts. The creation is a
fictional world going out of control, which
is saved by women (Neofems), who prevent man
from destroying the planet. Their
realization is a new peaceful world enclosed
in a Biosphere, where Man (now referred to
as Monomales), have no part of this new
order.
The strength of Consortium Project II lay
not only in Ian’s unique lyrical concept and
story telling skill, but is also in the
incredible performances and co-written songs
by some of the world’s best sympho-progressive
metal guitarists in Stephan Lill (Vanden
Plas), Patrick Rondat (Elegy) and Thomas
Youngblood (Kamelot), who enhance the
atmosphere of this cleverly written concept
album.
Ian Parry who produced & personally
coordinated the production duties for
Consortium II recorded the album in various
studios throughout Europe and the USA.
“Continuum in Extremis” was mixed by
ex-Victory guitarist/producer Tommy Newton (Helloween,
Elegy, Kamelot, & Ark) at his Area 51
studios in Germany.
Consortium Project II is a unique
collaboration and a must for
Progressive-Power metal music listeners
around the world.
