Guitarist LARS ERIC MATTSSON’s previously released album Obsession will be released as a limited edition digi-pack version via Lion Music.

According to a press release: “Originally released in 1998, Obsession was at the time the fourth solo album from Lars Eric Mattsson seven years after his previous album Electric Voodoo, and just like on Lars’ previous 1995’s ASTRAL GROOVE band project he was joined by singer Bjorn Lodin (BALTIMOORE, HARD) with whom the pair would go on to record numerous albums together over the subsequent years.”

Lars commented: “After a few years that I don't consider to be the best part of my life I finally got that sparkle to try to do the absolutely best music I can, or rather music I would personally like to hear. I think I found myself in a very creative mood and I was able to come up with 12 really good songs that fused a lot of influences from the '70s and '80s but specially from the '70s. I think Obsession is my first good album since this was the first time I allowed myself to take the time I needed to complete everything. Still today I think most of these songs are really good.”

Tracklisting is as follows:

‘Caught In Your Web’

‘Alive’

‘Just A Leo’

‘Messenger’

‘Long Way Home’

‘Time And Again’

‘Sense And Obsession’

‘Mother Forgive’

‘As the Sun meets the Sky’

‘Eyes of A Child’

‘Lay It On The Line’

‘And The Road goes On’
