Acclaimed progressive rock band The Flower Kings has released “Revolution”, one of the songs included in the band’s upcoming 15th studio album ‘By Royal Decree’. Release date for “Revolution” is March 4, 2022.
Band leader Roine Stolt says: “The songs on the new double album come from a whole lot of different places in time and space, often a combination of themes gathered from older ideas born before The Flower Kings emerged in 1994, mixed with brand new ideas.
’”Revolution’ is that kind of a song; a mini epic that is reflecting a number of themes spanning this album, cinematic and sometimes bombastic. A celebration of creation and the evolution, making the world what it is, through the million years of fire, brimstone, ice ages, floods, devastation, pain and finally….. beauty, colors, flowers, the vast oceans of life and new life out of the darkness & raging volcanoes. The miracle!
“The song is yet another piece of the larger scale composition that is ‘By Royal Decree’ – a sort of modern 2022 Rock Opera if you will. A landmark album from this band that we’re all incredibly proud of!”
“Revolution” also includes a guest appearance from Jonas Lindberg, who plays bass on this track.
