Legendary progressive, iconic, symphonic rockband "The Flower Kings",

after an almost 5 years well earned hiatus. The band consisting of Roine Stolt, bassplayer extraordinaire Jonas Reingold, keyboarder grand deluxe Tomas Bodin,
singer & guitarist Hasse Froberg and new 26 year old Berliner
dextrous drummer prodigy Felix Lehrmann, started the recording of a new album at Varispeed studios in Sweden on January 23rd.
The music is recorded in classic 70's style, with all musicians
performing live in a room thru 70's vintage tube recording equipment and famous NEVE consoles.
If all Gods and muses are onboard the new TFK is scheduled for an album
release on June 6th on the Inside Out Music label (Century Media/EMI). The yet unnamed album has a 23 min epic centerpiece and the material is all classic Flowerkings style with all
the dreamy melodic & cinematic elements that the bands fans has

Rock Festival" in June 7th - 2012.

I'll certainly listen to some samples at the very least.
Good that they are back together regardless.

I am excited, and I showed it on the TFK thread. But this is great, especially because there aren't a lot of new releases I'm looking forward to this year (especially compared to last year). I can't wait for an album title and artwork. **EDIT** duh, I missed where it said the release date is June 6.

Oh by the way, this intrigues me
new 26 year old Berliner
dextrous drummer prodigy Felix Lehrmann
wonder what he's like. The last young drummer they had was pretty sick (Though I will miss Mr. Zoltan, seems he's moved on from the TFK-family and related bands)
