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.
