Music is proud to present the special
edition re-release of CONSORTIUM PROJECT III
– TERRA INCOGNITA (The Undiscovered World).
As
with all the albums in our Consortium
Project "quadrilogy reissue" series, this
new version of the previously out-of-print
album sees an all new remaster and the
addition of 2 never before heard bonus
tracks from band mastermind Ian Parry’s
vaults.
Originally released in 2003, "Terra
Incoginita (The Undiscovered World)" saw
vocalist Ian Parry (Elegy / Crystal Tears /
Infinity Overture) once again team up with
some of metals best musicians from
Consortium Project mainstays in guitarist
Stephen Lill (Vanden Plas), drummer Casey
Grillo (Kamelot) and bassist Jan Bijlsma
(Vengeance) and welcomed guest musicians
Mike Chlasciak (Halford) and Sascha Paeth
(Heaven’s Gate) to the band. The result is
another highly accomplished slice of
progressive power metal with some symphonic
touch, epic story telling and first rate
performances.
After
the story commenced with Consortium Project
I "Criminals & Kings" (LMC314) and
Consortium Project II "Continuum In
Extremis" (LMC316) the story takes on
another chilling twist – It has been more
than 375 years since the effects of global
warming, and the depletion of the Ozone. The
results were catastrophic. Worldwide air
pollution and extremely low temperatures,
forced the Neofems to seek permanent refuge.
Communication with the outside world was
no-longer possible. Cocooned in the safety
of their biosphere, the planet continued
through the centuries frozen in time.
Once
again the cleverly constructed story is
worked around accessible yet intricate music
with a lot of character and expression, not
to mention some fine virtuoso musical
performances. Fans of prog power bands ala
Vanden Plas, Kamelot, Conception and
Symphony X will find a lot to like in "Terra
Incognita" with its rich muscular backbone,
fine riffs and attention grabbing
progressions, all coloured with Ian Parry’s
vocals – arguably one of the most powerful
and distinctive voices in metal ever.
On
27th February Consortium Project invite you
into the undiscovered world.
