The idea for a solo project AUDIOVISION started in 2002 after releasing and touring with WISDOM CALL where I wrote some songs together with Lars Chriss (Lion's Share, Road To Ruin) AUDIOVISION is the biggest album project that Christian Rivel have ever done.

Lars Chriss was hired as producer for this big album project. I wanted to create an album filled with good melodic hardrock and heavy metal with uplifting lyrics. On top of that I wanted to invite great musicians I look up to and respect for their great talents and create a top notch production. The result speaks for it self!

Musically we get Hard Rock with an at times pretty strong Metal influence, which shows the variability of Christian, as NARNIA are rather neo-classically influenced and DIVINEFIRE fire off the heavy Bombast Power Metal mortar and almost all songs have one thing in common, the pretty

Vocalist Christian Rivel (real name Christian Liljegren) has made quite a mark in the last 16 years. As a founding member of Narnia (7 albums), Divinefire (4 albums), Wisdom Call (1 album), Modest Attraction (2 albums) and Flagship (1 album)―not to mention his label Rivel Records―he’s racked up quite a discography. Yet another band/project fronted by Mr. Liljegren is Audiovision, who have now released their second album Focus.

Audiovision play a familiar style of Swedish Melodic Power Metal in the vein of Lion’s Share, Hammerfall, and Dream Evil. There are plenty of shredding guitars, melodic choruses, strong, soaring vocals and headbanging tempos. Songs like “Invited”, “Keep The Fire Burning”, “We Are Not Alone”, and “We Will Go” are fine examples of this. They don’t deliver anything new, but that’s not the point of Audiovision. The point is to bring the Metal, and bring it they do. Power ballad “Fruit Of Love” has a cool Scorpions vibe about it ala “Still Loving You”. There is also a decent cover/reworking of Stryper‘s “The Way” which is also indicitive of the album’s lyrical content.

So what Audiovision offer us is a classic sounding Melodic Metal record packed with all the musical elements that lover’s of the genre will expect. Fans of any of the bands I mentioned here should no doubt enjoy it. It’s very “up front” Christian lyrical stance may end up alienating some Metal fans, but it will no doubt gather some new ones in the process.
