Lars Eric Mattsson: “Burning Bridges” Digital and CD 6th September 2024 Lion Music. Finland Progressive Rock band.
The northern guitarist never stops creating. This man is one of the hell composers, doing it all alone. He always finds the musicians needed to add the arrangements. Andy Falconetti on the drums and percussion, the Astral Strings for strings, and Orchestral Choirs.
Lars Eric Mattsson is a mastermind. His brain is filled with music. He has his style; anybody can recognize it from his music to his voice. He leads a great record label.
I’m reviewing this album a bit late, the cover artwork matches the difficult news in the States. Each album has many messages. I always considered his music as a space-like universe, probably the effect in his voice melted with the keyboard sounds.
Everything is tight and well-structured, you just dive into his songs like sugar in your mouth. As a great guitarist, you can always expect a very good solo and he could very well set into the shredder scene if he wanted.
