The Flower King

by Roine Stolt

Functioning essentially as the launching pad for the acclaimed progressive band The Flower Kings, this solo effort by Swedish guitarist Roine Stolt resurrects the expansive, symphonic rock sounds of the 1970s. The album's highly intricate musicianship, heavily spiritual themes, and soaring melodies stood in defiant contrast to the prevailing cynical grunge trends of the decade.
