THE FLOWER KINGS To Release Desolation Rose Album In October; Artwork, Tracklisting Revealed; Samples Streaming
September 26, 2013, 11 years ago
Swedish progressive rockers THE FLOWER KINGS have had a busy year since regrouping in 2012 for the Banks Of Eden album, and with a new creative vigor the band are following that with the new album, Desolation Rose, due out in North America on October 29th. To be issued in a digipack, the release will also include a bonus disc.
The artwork, once again created by Silas Toball, can be viewed below and the band had this to say about the forthcoming release: "Being somewhat of a political statement, the epic theme of Desolation Rose is a logical step in a time where perpetual war, famine, environmental threats, religious conflicts dominate the media and our minds. This is a time to wake up and the music on this album takes you on a journey where you are forced to questions what the mainstream media feed us and to rethink your whole world view on all of the above. This is in many ways a typical Flower Kings album but we have also taken it into another realm where we do take chances and where you may struggle to get into the music - or the lyrics - but trust me when I say that you will be rewarded, as this may be our most involved, important and interesting album ever."
