In 2013 guitarist Carl Berglund decided to fulfill a musical dream, write songs shaped at it´s very core by the 80’s rock giants. Songs with emotional harmonies from pure British AOR, with the power of American hard rock, sprinkled with hooks from the new era of Swedish melodic rock. Carl grew up with melodic rock, but for most of his live has written and played much harder metal, but decided to go back to his roots and formed AGE OF REFLECTION.

The band signed a deal with AOR Heaven for a 2017 release of their first album – “In the Heat of the Night”. It was produced by Carl, and so was also “A New Dawn”, the bands second album which was released 2019. Both albums were also released in Japan (Rubicon Music Group).

Since then, AGE OF REFLECTION has played at several major festivals in Europe, toured in the UK and in Spain and is currently recording their third album.

As if this wasn’t enough, Carl has also written songs for, and produced, his other band UNRAVELING, which is a perfect example of modern Swedish Metal at its best. Alongside these, he writes and records melancholic ambient rock with his project KAJAN and writes music for other artists.

In his songwriting and his many hours on stage, it is important to have reliable and durable guitar picks…that’s why he uses his self-designed picks from The pickshouse
