| | Description: | THE FLOWER KINGS are back! After 2018â??s much-lauded solo effort â??Manifesto of an Alchemistâ??, Roine Stolt (Transatlantic, The Sea Within, Anderson/Stolt etc.) and many highly successful FLOWER KINGS REVISITED shows, THE FLOWER KINGS now return with a revamped line-up and stunning new album! â??Waiting For Miraclesâ?, featuring striking artwork by Kevin Sloan, promises to be one of THE FLOWER KINGâ??s strongest albums to date and features the line-up Roine Stolt (Lead Guitar & Lead Vocals), Hasse Fröberg (Lead & Backing Vocals), Zach Kamins (Keyboards, Guitar), Jonas Reingold (Bass) and Mirko DeMaio (Drums, Percussion).
Recorded over the summer at RMV studio in Stockholm, Sweden â?? a vintage studio space owned by ABBA star Benny Andersson â?? Roine Stolt describes the album as â??pure prog rock - with boatloads of vintage keyboards - odd time drumming and long guitar solos, elements of pop, prog, rock, symphonic and cinematic music!â? Citing Pink Floyd, Vangelis, The Beatles, Cream, King Crimson, Procol Harum, David Bowie, Utopia, ELO and Tomita as influence, â??Waiting For Miraclesâ? harks back to the joyful and playful style that made the band famous in the late 90â??s yet also offers a fresh and timeless quality. Opulent, dynamic, melodic, catchy, complex, â??Waiting For Miraclesâ? is all you would expect from a proper prog rock monument!

Distributed by Sony Music Entertainment ? Made in the EU ? Sony Music Entertainment International Services GmbH / Sony Music UK"Waiting For Miracles" is an expansive studio album on CD by the Swedish progressive rock band The Flower Kings, released under the renowned InsideOutMusic Catalog. Spread across richly arranged tracks, the album showcases the band's signature blend of symphonic rock, intricate instrumental passages and uplifting melodies. Listeners can expect long-form compositions, dynamic tempo changes, layered guitars and keyboards, and thoughtful lyrics that oscillate between the introspective and the spiritually hopeful. The production is warm and detailed, allowing each instrument--from soaring guitar solos to vintage-sounding synths and expressive bass lines--to breathe and shine in the mix. "Waiting For Miracles" feels like a modern yet classic prog statement: accessible enough for newcomers, but full of nuances and musical detours that reward repeated listens. It's a CD designed for immersion, inviting you to experience it as a complete journey rather than just a collection of songs.
As a band, The Flower Kings are one of the key names in contemporary progressive rock. Emerging in the 1990s around guitarist, singer and primary songwriter Roine Stolt, they helped spearhead the revival of symphonic prog with long suites, rich harmonies and a strong melodic core. Over the years, The Flower Kings have built a loyal international fanbase and a substantial discography of ambitious concept-leaning albums and live releases, becoming a fixture on the global prog scene and on specialized festivals and tours. Their work is often praised for combining instrumental virtuosity with optimistic, often spiritual themes, setting them apart from many peers in the genre.
The CD edition of "Waiting For Miracles" underlines the band's attention to detail: extended playing time, cohesive sequencing and a sound aesthetic that particularly benefits from the physical format. Owning the album on CD makes it easy to sit down and follow the entire narrative arc, track by track, as intended by the artists. Fans of classic prog acts as well as newer progressive, symphonic and art-rock listeners will find much to enjoy here--whether in the epic, multi-part compositions or the more compact, melodic pieces that offer a direct emotional impact.
InsideOutMusic Catalog, the label behind this release, is one of the most respected imprints for progressive and adventurous rock and metal.
