Sounds Like: "(…)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..."

"I love the music, and everything
about this band,and I hate that
this is just a demo, because I
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 astonishing fresh
blend from the west of Norway."
BEAT THE BLIZZARD WEB 'ZINE

"Obviously the mad genius behind Norway's
The Konsortium has a twisted mind.
The four songs here (...)certainly give
an insight into the diabolical intellect
that lurks within his skull.(...)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 alot of potential(...)
“Under the Black Flag” could be easily
become a classic for this kind of black
metal.(...)So surely we'll support them,
causethey're near to a sure success."
BLACK TERROR METAL . COM

"Thrash, Heavy, even a few Death Metal
riffs are mixed so well into one pulp
that listening to this demo is one
huge feast (...)a highly recommended
demo which should give them attention
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."
INFERNAL DUNGEONS 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 songs: they sound fast
and wild, 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
from time to time. The Konsortium is such a band.
(...)Cocky, malicious and icy-cold music with a slight
avantgarde touch; I think The Konsortium
is heading the right way."
