Quando i Flower Kings suonarono il loro primo concerto il 20 agosto 1994, probabilmente non immaginavano che sarebbero entrati nella storia della musica mondiale. Con 17 album in studio, numerosi album dal vivo, esibizioni in festival e innumerevoli tour in tutto il mondo, la loro eredità non ha eguali nella rinascita del rock progressivo. Rimangono titani del prog melodico, traboccanti di creatività e vitalità, collocandosi saldamente in quel regno regale che il loro nome suggeriva 30 anni fa.
The album features the three original members—Roine Stolt, Hasse Fröberg, and Michael Stolt—alongside relative newcomers Mirko DeMaio and Lalle Larsson. Together, they have crafted an album that embodies the essence of progressive rock from the late sixties and early seventies. This era was marked by a departure from the norm of seeking hit singles, embracing creativity with bell-bottoms, Mellotrons, Moogs, phasing, flanging, and epic compositions. The Flower Kings have always had a knack for writing songs that blend pop sensibilities with experimental and jam band influences.
This new album showcases the Swedish royals with newfound confidence, delivering progressive rock second to none. It promises to take listeners on a journey to the hidden corners of their musical world. Fans can expect to hear more of the experimental side and wild guitar and synth solos reminiscent of the band’s early albums. The album, with a runtime of 75 minutes, features 12 tracks ranging from 3 to 12 minutes, designed to be listened to as a whole.
