Reflexion is a dark rock band which hails from Finland. Home of the dark melancholic songs. The band was formed back in 1996 and played without a vocalist for a long time before they found one in Juha Kylm\u00e4nen in 1997. The band was called BarbarianZ and changed their name into Reflexion in 2000. After various demo’s under both names Reflexion showed their skills with their debut album \u201cOut of the Dark\u201d (2006). The band showed that they know how to write dark melancholic rock songs. The single \u201cArmy of Broken Heart\u201d reached the Finnish top 20. Now they are ready to conquer the world with their brand new album \u201cDead To The Past, Blind For Tomorrow\u201d.
\n
\nOn this new album Juha Kylm\u00e4nen (vocals) showcases his various skills in singing bitter sweet melodies to tougher choruses. The band has great songwriting skills with lyrics about daily life occurrences, spiced up with black humor and a dose of self-irony.<\/p>\n

Mikko Uusimaa (bass) on the new album: \u201cWithin the heavier songs the lyrics are gloomier than ever before, but there are also, still some pure love songs which then are really into it. I guess it’s more like an open diary than just a relationship therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album is produced by Aksu Hanttu (Entwine) and was recorded in three different studios. Vesa Ranta (Sentenced) took care of the artwork of the album.<\/p>\n

The sound of the band has some similarities with Scentenced, Poisonblack and For My Pain, other bands that have their history in Oulu, Finland. A lot of songs have catchy choruses or melodies. \u201cTwilight Child\u201d has a nice piano intro to the track which creates a nice atmosphere. The growls on \u201cNon-stop Glorious Ride\u201d and \u201cDancing in the Air\u201d are from Jaakko Teittinen. Which certainly adds something to these tracks. \u201cBlack is the Colour of Your Life\u201d is a track that shows that their songs are varied. The intro is very emotional and dark and ends with a great track with a wall of guitar riffs near the end. \u201cJust One Word (Goodbye)\u201dhas an acoustic guitar and the sweet singing of Juha makes this a great song to end the album.<\/p>\n
