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. 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-Powermetal music listeners around the world.
