Book of Reflections is Lion Music’s new all-star metal project. The music could probably be described as high-energy 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 – it’s 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.
