Product Description
Contents: The Flower Kings, a leading force in the Scandinavian progressive rock scene, have released a new album! The Flower Kings, led by Roine Stolt, a key figure in the Scandinavian progressive rock scene, release their new album just 1 year and 4 months after their previous release. This is their third album, featuring original members Roine and Hasse, Jonas (who joined in 1999), and Zach and Mirko, who participated in the 2018 "Flower Kings Revisited" tour. Furthermore, this album marks the return of founding member Michael Stolt after more than 20 years. With virtually no tours during the past two years, they were able to freely focus on recording new material and unearth previously unreleased material from past sessions. Some of the material was even written before the recording of their 1994 album, "The Flower Kings." The album has a vintage feel in terms of sound, equipment, and instruments used, and it's a work that reflects the melting pot of folk, symphonic, electronic, jazz, blues, funk, and 70s progressive rock, so it should appeal to longtime progressive rock fans as well. 2CD [Contents] DISC-1 1.
