Legendary Prog Rock group The Flower Kings will be releasing their 17th studio album “LOVE” on May 02, 2025. With 17 studio albums, countless live recordings, and performances at festivals and tours worldwide, over a 30-year career, their influence on progressive rock is undeniable and only continues to grow.
Now, the band is pleased to share the single “Burning Both Edges,” the second track taken from the album “LOVE.” Watch the official video through the YouTUbe player below:
Roine Stolt describes the new track: “’Burning Both Edges’ is another song from our album LOVE; We live in troubled times where stupidity and fear always seem to push us to yet another conflict, another war. LOVE could change everything, but we chose to burn the house down time after time. The world is indeed burning in so many ways – east, west, high, low and yet we choose to follow leaders that are not fit to lead. This song is a piece in the puzzle, meant to be heard in a sequence and context that is our new album song-cycle LOVE.”
The album features the three original members-Roine Stolt, Hasse Fröberg, and Michael Stolt-alongside relative newcomers Mirko DeMaio and Lalle Larsson. Together, they have crafted an album that embodies the essence of Progressive Rock from the late Sixties and early Seventies. This era was marked by a departure from the norm of seeking hit singles, embracing creativity with bell-bottoms, Mellotrons, Moogs, phasing, flanging, and epic compositions. The Flower Kings have always had a knack for writing songs that blend Pop sensibilities with Experimental and jam band influences.
