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.
