A Swedish band that's kept the prog flame burning since the mid-80s.
For a good sense of their sound, try 'A King's Prayer' or the title track from 'Stardust We Are.' They're both classic Flower Kings.
They've been making the kind of intricate, melodic progressive rock that draws from Genesis and Yes since their 1994 self-titled debut. Songs like 'City Of Angels' show their blend of technical ambition and melodic reach. They've never chased mainstream trends, which explains their steady presence in the prog scene for decades.
Formed in Sweden in the mid-1980s around guitarist Roine Stolt and keyboardist Tomas Bodin. Their 1997 album 'Stardust We Are' helped them find a wider audience within prog, and they've kept releasing records like 2006's 'Unfold the Future' while weathering lineup changes.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
