Lars Eric Mattsson - SAND AND BLOOD CD

Thirty years after his solo EP "Can't Go On Without Your Love" Lars now delivers "Sand and Blood", his first all electric album in four years (in 2015 Lars released his all acoustic "Songs from a Different Room") Available as Digipak, Download and Streaming. Lars is also offering a free downloadable magazine that includes all the lyrics, extended discography and more. The 11 track "Sand and Blood" is a hard rocking album filled with hunger and passion, made to be played loud and songs written for the stage. Behind each and every one of these songs there is a true story deeper than you might think when you first hear them. Lars put a lot of attention into arranging these songs making sure they were getting to the point without being too long or unnecessary complex and his guitars have for sure never sounded this great before. The album ends with first a new version of the 1987 classic "Can't Go On Without Your Love" and finally the epic ballad "Still Here Waiting" featuring the amazing Adrienn Antal on vocals. In a way you could say that all these 11 songs are about love but the truth is that there is a lot of depth and pain behind each and every one of them. Musically Lars decided early on to make a straight ahead rock album paying homage to his early influences spiced up with the experience only someone with 30 releases behind himself can add. But most of all, "Sand and Blood" is a dedication to the love of music. "Evolve or Die"!
