Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey’s Interview with Lars Nygren of Age of Reflection

AGE OF REFLECTION – a melodic rock band from Sweden with influences from British AOR and classic American hard rock.

In 2013 guitarist Carl Berglund decided to fulfill a musical dream, write songs shaped at it´s very core by the 80’s rock giants. Songs with emotional harmonies from pure British AOR, with the power of American hard rock, sprinkled with hooks from the new era of Swedish melodic rock.

Joining on vocals came Lars Nygren, a friend of Carl’s since high school. When equipped with a full band and a ton of hard-hitting melodic rock songs written, they picked four songs and published them on digital platforms with amazing reviews and response.

The band signed a deal with AOR Heaven for a 2017 release of their first album – “In the Heat of the Night”. It was produced by AGE OF REFLECTION, mixing and mastering was done by Erik Mårtensson, Mass Destruction Production (Eclipse, WET).

“A New Dawn”, the bands second album was released 2019. Yet again Erik Mårtensson worked his final magic on the album. Both albums were also released in Japan (Rubicon Music Group).

In November 2019, AGE OF REFLECTION went for their first tour in Great Britain supported by both A’priori and Atlas UK, followed by H.E.A.T Festival in Germany (with Stan Bush, Treat, Robert Tepper among others).

More melodic rock is coming from AGE OF REFLECTION as songwriting for a 3rd album is in the making.
