Step into the majestic world of progressive rock with Desolation Rose, the twelfth studio album by Swedish icons The Flower Kings, originally released on 28 October 2013. Now reissued on 180gram double coloured vinyl. This edition brings the band's richly layered soundscapes to life.
Since their formation in 1994 by guitarist, vocalist, composer Roine Stolt, The Flower Kings have been at the forefront of modern progressive rock. Known for their unique brand of symphonic rock, the band blends elements of classical music, film scores, jazz, ethno, blues, and even '70s metal--resulting in a sound that is as adventurous as it is timeless. With Desolation Rose, The Flower Kings dive into themes of social unrest, environmental decline, and spiritual awakening. From the sprawling epic Tower One to the haunting Desolation Road, this album showcases the band's musical ambition and emotional depth.
This Construction Records re-release is carefully remastered by Roine Stolt himself!
