Info:

In 1992 Lars teamed up with Swedish singer Conny Lind who had been in Los Angeles working with Alex Masi and together with Drummer Tony Mattsson and Bass player Michael Ahlskog they formed the band VISION and recorded 1992 ‘s album Lars Eric Mattsson’s VISION which went down very well specially in Japan where
It was once again released by FEMS and in Europe by Roadrunner. The year after VISION recorded a follow up album, which were never released due to contractual problems and the band eventually split up. Around 1994 when Lars was found playing in cover bands doing blues classics and Hendrix covers Lars got in contact with another Swedish singer Bjorn Lodin, who had made 4 albums with his own band Baltimore. As guitarist Nikolo Kotzev left Baltimore Bjorn joined forces with Lars And recorded 1995’s album ASTRAL GROOVE,
which was blues based and quite Different from Lars previous releases. More or less ASTRAL GROOVE came out Of Jamming ideas but the band split up very soon.
In 1996 Lars wanted to give VISION a second chance and recorded the VISION Album “Till the End of Time” which was his most laid back melodic almost AOR release ever. The album got very good reactions and was a living proof that melodic hard rock still had an audience. Singer Randolph Reymers made his debut as lead singer after having sung backing vocals on several albums before VISION.
As VISION was taking a break from recording Lars went into in studio at the end of august 1997 with a bunch of new songs which definitely will show that hard work pays off. This new album was Lars finest hour with his best guitar playing ever as well as some of his better compositions. Add to that singer Bjorn Lodin who never sounded this good before!
