"This four-song taster hints at
formidable flexibility: blazing
speed, jackbooted trudges,
vocals and guitars skewed at
sharp angles. Perhaps Norway
may reclaim its black metal
throne yet" DECIBEL MAGAZINE
"If you're looking for something
different from what's out there
today, you've found the band
that is making the steps through
those boundaries.(...)This will be
a band you'll be hearing much
about in the future of extreme
metal." HEATHEN-HARVEST.COM

will bring this project/band to the
pantheon of Norwegian musician-
ship.(...)Yes, The Konsortium
could be the next big thing." AVANTGARDE-METAL.COM
"Four-song self titled demo from
the Norwegian The Konsortium is
one of those demos that stands
out (...)from the first minute
there is no doubt that this band's
dedication and potential is
very high(...)Expectations are big. METAL-REVOLUTION.COM
"Evil vocals and evil music(...)
If this is what the future will be
like for them, send that full -
length this way!" METALRAGE.COM
"(…)So, everyone, be scared and
prepared –now things are really
heating up – all past
achievements, all contracts and
pacts are annulled, everything
else burns down. The reign of
"The Konsortium" is coming..." DARKSIDE.RU

about this band,and I hate that

want an album, and I want it
now!(...)they are constantly
experimenting with the songs,
while they still sound brilliant,
nonetheless.My expectations
for their album is sky-high!" IMHOTEP MAGAZINE
"Ok. I am not gonna rant on
about Stavangers new addition
THE KONSORTIUM, because
you're all gonna fucking get
this demo! If Warrel Dane,
Devin Townsend and Satyr
decided to start a black metal
band,THE KONSORTIUM
would be it.
Only THE KONSORTIUM
is probably cooler.(...) Enough
of the ranting already,all thumbs
up,and look out for this
astonishingfresh blend from the
west of Norway." BEAT THE BLIZZARD WEB 'ZINE
"Based on what this demo
represents, I think that
The Konsortium will be making
waves in the underground
in the very near future(...)" NOCTURNAL CULT WEB 'ZINE
"The execution is spectacular, as
the arrangement. Clean vocal
parts are amazing and expressive
(...)The Konsortium has chosen
to follow their own steps (...).
In a sort of stubborn way they
(...)propose an original music,
free of stylistic limits, but firmly
linked to the roots.This promo is
really great(...)Can hardly wait
'til the release of the debut album" SHAPELESS 'ZINE
"Technically it's a band of great
level(...) Sounds are strong,
powerful, it's a band that have a

black metal.(...)So surely we'll
support them, cause they're near
to a sure success." BLACK TERROR METAL . COM

from many labels and maniacs." TERROR CULT 'ZINE
"They have managed to create a
sound and atmosphere that feels
quite unique, a mix of the good
things in Black and Thrash Metal.
(...) It feels rather old-school
with a refreshing taste of
creativity and no fear of breaking
borders." FUNERAL MARCH MAGAZINE
"If the Norwegians invented black
metal,then they were also the
ones to reinvent it. The steps
were taken by groups such as
Arcturus, Dødheimsgard or
Emperor,but it does not remain
the kept ground of the old glories
(...)Groups such as The
Konsortium are also of part of it.
With their first demonstration,
these unknowns show what is
possible in the rising generation
of Norwegian Black Metal." CRYPTIC MADNESS
"(...)They achieve a very good-
sounded unity by mixing the best
of Black and Thrash metal. I
didn’t expect much, but was
really surprised by these four

as well as sluggish and atmospheric.
(...)So, blackies and thrashies,
check this out!" POSSESSED MAGAZINE
"The days that Norwegian
talented black metal bands
were swarming the scene on a
daily basis are long gone, but
there are still bands emerging

music with a slight avantgarde
touch; I think The Konsortium is
heading the right way." LORDS OF METAL
