Book of Reflections is Lion Music's new all-star metal project. The music could probably be described as high-energy progressive symphonic/neoclassical power metal. The eleven songs on the self-titled debut album are all powered by extremely good
musicianship, high energy and good melodies.
The album was recorded between April and December 2003 in Finland, Germany,
Sweden and USA. All songs were written by Lars Eric Mattsson with some
additional lyrics from Conny Welen.
Book of Reflections was put together by Lars Eric Mattsson after having been
approached by an Asian company, and once all the right members were found all
the pieces started to fit together extremely well and the result was much better
that one could have imagined! The idea was to create a fast and furious yet very
melodic album that would nether be too complicated nor too simple and on which
the vocal melodies would stand out. Even though the musicians are all of very
high caliber this album is not about virtuosity its all about the high energy
songs.
The guitars of Rusty Cooley and Lars Eric Mattsson as well as the keyboards of
Vitalij Kuprij are nothing but breathtaking, the solos on this album are some of
the hottest ever on a Lion Music release but Book Of Reflections is still more
about good high energy songs and the vocals of the four lead singers of Book Of
Reflections are all outstanding.
Both the European and Japanese version of this album contains exclusive bonus
tracks.
