Coming to London in December and with Kayak in support. That is really interesting to me (more so than the double LP).

Man, some US dates would sure be a pleasant surprise. I'm not holding my breath though. I've never seen Roine live and that needs to be corrected.

Hasse Froberg's Musical Companion released Parallel Life today. I'm giving it a listen on the evil Spotify and it sounds really good.

my tickets for the London gig came through yesterday. Looking forward to seeing them again after about 18 years! Also Kayak as the support band could not be more perfect.

The new single, "Black Flag" is excellent. It sounds like a nice mix between the modern TFK's sound and their earlier stuff. Really good omen.

I have the first one and I never really cared for it. I should probably pull it out again though, as I don't know that I gave it that many listens. While I usually love his voice in the Flower Kings, I find that his voice can grate on me when he gets all "hard rock" with his singing. This is something that seems to have gotten worse over time, as I can't think of a single thing on the early TFK albums (I'm thinking up through Sum) where his voice bothered me much at all (aside from the a couple times where he lays on the cheese rather thickly).

Yeah, no USA dates listed with their upcoming tour, all Europe. I get the impression that Roine is done with the USA. He used to loose upwards of $10,000 on every tour he did here in the states, and now with more strict, expensive, and time consuming visa requirements, I very much doubt he will ever play here again. Canada seems to be the closest place we will get.

Saw them in their heyday (unfold) so I'm okay with that, another live album would be gladly welcome though.

I am loving the new Hasse Fröberg Musical Companion album. I don't think the vocals are that bad although you can tell it's an aging voice. Black Flag is ok but it definitely has to grow on me.

Stumbled across this interview with Hasse Froberg today: http://www.societyforritualarts.com/coreopsis/autumn-2019-issue/interview-hasse-froberg-of-the-flower-kings Most interesting quote is this (for us USA folks anyway): "And from what I understand there’s even negotiations about bringing TFK
to the US again next year, so there’s definitely stuff in the pipeline." Let's hope this happens!!

Can't really get into the new single. Sounds like something off of Desolation, which I also found to be pretty hard after Banks.
As far as a USA tour goes, Roine needs to do a Kickstarter for it. Maybe start a Patreon page for TFK. I'm sure there are more than enough folks out there that would chip in. I like the music on the HFMC albums. Always some cool synth stuff. Need to get this new one. As always, can't keep up at all. Which I guess is a good thing. New Opeth is awesome!!
