Album Release TODAY !!! (Europe) + tour complete

THE FLOWER KINGS are back after 5 long years with a new album. The record is called “Banks Of Eden” and will be released on June 15th, 2012 in Europe via InsideOutMusic.

“The album is a reflection of my thoughts on the world of today, I would say. I think this is where Roine Stolt as a person stands today. There are elements of both politics and religion, but I try to write lyrics without lecturing the fans. Still I always try to put something of a true wisdom of life or poetic beauty into the lyrics that hopefully stays with them.” says Stolt.

THE FLOWER KINGS emerged as one of the most famous bands of the early 90´s Prog scene and became one of the leading new icons together with Porcupine Tree, Spock’s Beard and Dream Theater. The band proved to be a worthy and solid live act and after years of touring Europe, USA, South America and Japan the band return to form with a new powerhouse drummer Felix Lehrmann, to prove that they are at the top of their game. With a big tour to follow starting with a 27 date European tour.

"Banks Of Eden" was recorded with the band playing live in one room in a studio in January 2012, a recording much like in the old days of classic prog. "If we can't play it live it's not worth recording". "We're a band - regardless what some may say - a democracy at work - OK, definitely with myself at the wheel, but all the guys have made themselves a sound that is recognizable and TFK wouldn't be the same without them". 
 "We aimed for the classic big warm vinyl-sound of old records by Queen, Genesis, Zeppelin or Deep Purple" so Stolt.

........................................................................ The Flower Kings will go on an extended headlining tour across Europe in September & October!

The Flower Kings are back with a new album called "Banks of Eden" and it's the result of work in progress since December 2011. The updated version of the band showcases the classic lineup of Stolt, Bodin, Reingold and Froberg with the addition of new German prodigy powerhouse drummer Felix Lehrmann.

The new album "Banks Of Eden" was recorded with the band playing live in one room in Varispeed studio in January 2012, a recording much like in the old days of classic prog, before computers hit the market and this time with plenty of original 60's and 70's recording equipment, for a true warm analogue vintage sound. "We aimed for the classic big warm vinyl-sound of old records by Queen, Genesis, Zeppelin or Deep Purple," says Stolt.

"To show that we're real men we decided to start the new album with a 25-minute epic centrepiece that is not easy listening, but the material also has all classic elements of the FLOWER KINGS style with all the dreamy melodic & cinematic glow sprinkled all over, that the band's fans have come to love over the years. My advice is: just give it time and it will be very rewarding." RS.
