Book Of Reflections – Chapter II: Unfold The Future
is a potent musically accomplished mix of progressive metal and
classic hard rock, showcasing strong melodic sensibilities.
Lyrically the album is varied focusing on topics from distrust
in the political world to a celebration of life along with a
couple of sad love songs.
On the album’s direction, project leader Lars Eric Mattsson
comments, “The idea was to
continue where the first album ended and take the music a few
steps forward. The songs are a little bit less predictable but
easier to listen to. It was a long journey as there are many
musicians and singers involved. The songs are all good songs
with memorable choruses while still not using too many cliché’s”.
When quizzed on his favourite moments of
Chapter II: Unfold The Future,
Lars states, "The energy of
the title track "Unfold the Future" - killer vocals and an
almost impossible to play guitar solo and the total opposite:
the acoustic "Blink of an Eye". It's all in all a very dynamic
album”.
The album is home to a number of top class musicians from the
Lion Music roster such as vocalists
Bjorn Jansson (Tears
Of Anger) and Martin
LeMar (Tomorrow’s Eve) who handle 3 songs each.
In addition to Mattsson’s fiery fretwork is the guitar talent of
Anand Mahangoe
(Sphere Of Souls, Solo).
Mistheria
(Bruce Dickinson) contributes keyboard solos on 4 tracks whilst
long time Mattsson collaborator
Eddie Sledgehammer
plays drums. Mattsson himself handles all other guitars, bass,
keyboards and additional vocals.
