Flower Kings Banks Of Eden

2012, After five years of absence, progressive rock band The Flower Kings return with BANKS OF EDEN. Led by mastermind Roine Stolt (Transatlantic), the material is a magnificient musical mix of Symphonic Progressive Rock with Jazz and Blues with influences of Frank Zappa, The Beatles, Igor Stravinsky, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Yes and Genesis. Once again The Flower Kings are playing symphonic grand scale music that's inventive and experimental and so BANKS OF EDEN is a Prog Rock album in the true sense of the word ´progressive`. However, the 2012 incarnation of the band mixes it up with both psychedelic and darker metal passages that place this album somewhere in between the late 60's proto prog and the new generation of art rock.
