Lion Music

Lion Music was founded in 1989 as a production company for the composer and artist Lars Eric Mattsson to handle production and licensing businesses in Europe, USA and Asia where a number of deals were signed. At that time it was never intended that Lion Music would become the record label that it has since evolved into today.

In 1997 the dream of starting a new label had become very strong mostly because of problems Lar's faced when dealing with certain other companies. The first releases were .. and this has to be considered the real start of Lion Music as a record label.

Since this period Lion Music has operated as a real record label with regular releases and seen its roster of artists grow considerably offering more varied musical genres and styles. We are now considered a leading force within progressive and power metal circles as well being closely associated with the instrumental and virtuoso musician releases - a genre overlooked by most other labels. We have recently branched out into other genres such AOR/Melodic hard rock, Fusion and classic hard rock. 2005 saw us re-releasing some true 1970's progressive classics for the first time on CD. We have also released several well received quality tribute albums to Jason Becker, Shawn Lane, Ritchie Blackmore, Jimi Hendrix, Uli Jon Roth and Gary Moore.
