Art Of Illusion is a fusion of songwriter/producer Anders Rydholm, from the band Grand Illusion, and singer extraordinaire Lars Säfsund, from the band Work Of Art. “X Marks the Spot” is the first album from these Swedish musicians.
Melody is the key in their music and there is a homage to melodic rock and bands like Queen, Giant and Big Money. Catchy melodies, great hooks and tons of glorious vocals are the formula for success. Anders plays keyboards, bass and rhythm guitars, while Lars sings lead and background vocals and also contributes some keyboards. The album is produced by Anders and Lars.
Guests on the album are guitarists Jay Graydon, Muris Varajic, Kristian Larsen, Pelle Holmberg and Daniel Rydholm. Drummer Frank ”Frallan” Nilsson, background vocalist Per Svensson and steel guitar player Tony Paoletta also appear. Music is written by Anders Rydholm. Lyrics by Anders Rydholm, Arlene Matza-Jackson and Patrik Ahlm.
Lars Säfsund broke through with his band Work Of Art and the album “Artwork“ in 2008. He has since then been an appreciated voice within the melodic rock genre. He’s also the voice for the bands Lionville and Enbound and one of the most hired background vocal singers in Sweden. Four appearances singing background vocals, for several countries, in the Eurovision Song Contest so far. Voice acting for Disney and other production companies, is another of Lars many skills.
Anders Rydholm has beside his own bands Grand Illusion and Code, worked with Overland, Seikima II and the legendary Japanese artist Demon Kakka. In combination with his songwriting and producing, Anders holds a position as senior lecturer in Music Production at the Linnaeus University, Vaxjo, Sweden.

Just discovered this album. Lars is a top 5 singer in my book. Absolutely love him in Work of Art and Lionville. I wish iTunes carried this album. Just bought the CD from Sweden. A LOT of good music comes from Sweden. This is one of the best AOR songs I've heard.

[@pavelkolman6457]

👏👍👌

[@murisvarajicmusic]

☺❤🤟

[@66lucag]

Direi che siamo vicini alla perfezione.

[@danicorreamusic]

Sin palabras.

[@timsaunders2201]

Possibly the best new track I've heard this year; simply stunning!

[@gonzalofigueroaretamal5598]

Mix Robby Valentine, Toto, meat loaf, royal hunt

[@windrider6124]

Edgier AOR with neoclassical elements. Could easily be a powermetal song with doublebass and heavier guitars. I like this but I must admit that I miss Enbound!

[@ireneramponi3342]

Where could I find lyrics?

[@hugensjr]

The description states '..Lars Säfsund broke with his band Work Of Art and the album “Artwork“ in 2008...'. Shouldn't it be broke through? They didn't break up I assume? Great track by the way!

[@MetalHeavenLabel]

yes, it should be "broke through"

[@alexandresantoro6246]

Lyrics?

[@Just4CaliJames]

incredible song! have loved all Lars'es work. too bad the name is already claimed by what appears to be a well-established band from Poland

[@legolas0404]

Muy Meat Loaf! jajaja

[@matthewh.9544]

Sounds like a Broadway musical...

[@maeguk1]

Is this AOR? I think this I more like a melodic metal of sort. Sounds heavier than an AOR. Nevertheless Lars is a master singer!

[@krispen558]

With Lars on vocals every song becomes a jewel, keep these coming!

[@ToniOnsalo]

One of the best songs I've heard in a long time. 👌
