CONSORTIUM PROJECT -Third Time's The Charm!
December 5, 2002, 21 years ago
Elegy vocalist and Consortium mastermind, Ian Parry informs BW&BK; that all the keyboard and piano parts, for the next installment of the Consortium Project, have been completed by Joshua Dutrieux (Elegy). Bass tracks were once again handled by his former partner in Vengeance, Jan Bijlsma, as well as Marcel Van Der Zwam, who played on Parry's solo efforts. Ian is putting his touch to the backing vocals of Dutch television actress Ingeborg Wieten, who also appears as part of a duet, on the album's ballad. In December, the location switches to Casey Grillo's Above The C studio, in Tampa, where the Kamelot drummer will handle percussion. The Sunshine State will also reunite Parry with Robert Finan, the bassist on the Consortium effort for Locomotive Record's Led Zeppelin tribute. Kamelot guitarist/founder, Thom Youngblood is scheduled to record some guitar tracks, joining a guest stint by Halford stringbender Mike Chlasciak, recorded earlier. As 2003 begins, Parry returns to Europe, to continue recording guitars with Stephan Lill (Vanden Plas), at Basement Studios, where the album will be mixed.
