The Flower Kings, a pioneering force in the revival of progressive rock, have established themselves as one of the most prolific bands in the genre, with over twenty hours of music spread across fourteen studio albums. Formed in the 1990s and led by the visionary guitarist and vocalist Roine Stolt, The Flower Kings are known for their expansive symphonic soundscapes and intricate compositions. Roine’s collaborations with legends like Jon Anderson, Steve Hackett, and the supergroup Transatlantic have further cemented his status in the prog world, yet The Flower Kings remains his creative home.
Joined by long-time collaborators Jonas Reingold and Hasse Fröberg, along with Zach Kamins on keys and Mirko DeMaio on drums, The Flower Kings continue to captivate audiences with their latest album, Islands. Released in 2020, Islands is a double album that offers a rich, melodic journey, reflecting themes of isolation and connection. The album is a testament to the band’s enduring creativity and continues their tradition of pushing the boundaries of progressive rock, making it a beloved addition to their extensive discography.
