ETERNITY, hailing from the Åland Islands, featured a young LARS ERIC MATTSON on guitar. Founded in 1986 the
band quickly issued a six-track demo. 1987 proved to be a busy year for the band with three pieces of music being
released. They quickly issued another 4 song demo and followed it up with a two song single on their own Eternity
label. Shortly after, this vocalist Thor Hammer had left and the vocals were being handled by Örjan Sjöström. The
band then contributed a song called 'Children Of The Sun' to the Ebony Records various artist compilation entitled,
'Rock Meets Metal Volume 2 (1987) #EBON 105'.
At this point, Mattsson opted to begin a long and lucrative career as a solo artist and appeared over the years as a
guest or member of a number of bands including VISION, CONDITION RED and MATTSSON. Mattsson later founded
his own record label Lion Music, a specialty hard rock and heavy metal label, home to many guitar virtuoso's. In
early 2007 the guitarist provided guest playing on Chicago based British guitarist ANDREW BORDONI's solo album
entitled 'Andrew Bordoni & Friends'.
Mattsson have released a couple of solo albums with Swedish vocalist Björn Lodin (BALTIMOORE, SIX FEET UNDER, BEDLAM etc).
