Get ready to experience the magic of "LOVE", the stunning new studio
album from Swedish prog-rock legends The Flower Kings! It marks their
17th studio album in an extraordinary career spanning over 30 years.
When The Flower Kings played their very first show on August 20th,
1993, in Sweden, they likely had no idea they were about to make
progressive rock history. With 17 studio albums, countless live
records, worldwide tours, and festival appearances, the band has built
a legacy matched by few - proving themselves pioneers in the rebirth of
prog rock.
The lineup features three original members - Roine Stolt, Hasse
Froberg, and Michael Stolt - alongside relative newcomers Mirko DeMaio
and Lalle Larsson. Together, they have crafted an album that captures
the true spirit of what progressive rock was always meant to be: a
creative revolution, free from the constraints of commercial hit
formulas. Channeling the golden age of the late '60s and early '70s,
"LOVE" is brimming with vintage vibes, epic compositions, and a rich
blend of influences - from classical and jazz to electronic music and
film soundtracks.
On "LOVE", The Flower Kings deliver over 70 minutes of sonic
exploration across 12 tracks, ranging from sprawling 12-minute epics to
concise 3-minute gems. The album weaves common themes into a cohesive
whole, best experienced as a single, immersive journey. Listeners will
recognize the band's signature balance: accessible melodies paired with
moments of experimental flair, wild guitar solos, and virtuosic synth
work reminiscent of their earliest records.
With renewed confidence and creativity, The Flower Kings prove once
again why they remain the royalty of progressive rock.
Remember: War is just fear & failure, FEAR manifested in small people
with shady political or religious agendas - LOVE is always the winner.
