I am proud to announce that I have signed a 6 album worldwide deal exclusively with Frontiers Records Srl, including the new Consortium Project 6 “Legacy of Empires” album and complete Consortium Project 5 album back catalogue.

🚨 Signing Announcement: Ian Parry’s Consortium Project VI – “Legacy of Empires” 🚨

Frontiers Records Srl, in collaboration with partners worldwide, is proud to announce the March 2026 release of Ian Parry’s Consortium Project VI – “Legacy of Empires.”

Marking the sixth chapter of Parry’s long-running progressive metal saga, Legacy of Empires journeys deep into a fictional past — unveiling humanity’s cosmic beginnings and the ancient alien architects who shaped our destiny. Building upon the powerful themes explored across the first five Consortium Project albums, this new chapter dives into the origins of A.I. intelligence, introduced to Earth by an exiled alien Pharaoh and his destined Queen as they flee oppression in search of a new world.

Concept. Prog. Power. Myth. Metal. This is the Consortium legacy ascending to its next evolution.

Featuring 10 masterfully crafted songs, co-written with Ian plus:

• Stephan Lill (Vanden Plas)

• Johann Cadot (Asylum Pyre)

• Luca Sellitto (Timeless Fairytale / Rock Emporium 2)
