Swedish progressive rock act The Flower Kings have released a new lyric video in the run up to the release of their new album, Desolation Rose.
The new lyrics video features the track Desolation Road, taken from the album. Roine Stolt commented:
“‘Desolation Road’ portrays a human race hell-bent on destroying environment, peace and inner harmony. It’s a very dangerous path the human race is upon at this very now – where we put profit and notorious control of the individual before physical and mental health, a world up for grabs for those who spin upon the axis of greed and individualism. Leading to more than half the world living without proper education and sometimes without food for the day – while the other half live in a danger zone of unhealthy, consuming addictions and made up realities inside our gadgets & fucked up, controlled by corporations media. We have money and we have freedom and we are spoilt, and we have the gift of knowledge but we constantly abuse it and in perpetual outbursts of religious and monetary conflicts we pave the way for a true road to desolation. Uplifting?”

Desolation Rose is due for release October 28th via InsideOutMusic.
