THE FLOWER KINGS – LOVE (2025) *HQ*
Titans of melodic prog THE FLOWER KINGS are set to release their 17th studio album on May 2nd, 2025, titled ”LOVE”. Brimming with creativity and vitality, this band’s talent placed them firmly in that royal reign that their name suggested 30 years ago.
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 earlt 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.
At the same time, 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, taking listeners on a journey to the hidden corners of their musical world.
