Along with Spock's Beard and the mighty Dream Theater, Sweden's The Flower Kings are at the absolute pinnacle of the neo-progressive-rock food chain. One of the best loved and most prolific bands in the scene today, The Flower Kings are poised to once again reaffirm their place on the throne as Prog's reigning monarchs. Paradox Hotel is the ninth studio installment in The Flower Kings regal repertoire. Influenced directly by founding fathers of Prog such as Genesis and Yes, The Flower Kings add their own fingerprints to a sound that is as melodic as it is challenging. Not only do they possess nearly inhuman, stop-on-a-dime chops, but they can breakdown into a groove that would make any self-respecting jam band green with envy. Look for The Flower Kings to once again tour the U.S. in support of this release.

If there was a prize for most ambitious and, at the same time, the most versatile band on the prog rock scene, then The Flower Kings would surely be the front runner for it. Since their 1994 debut, Roine Stolt "The Flower King" the Swedish progressive rockers have released a new album almost every year, often even in the form of a double CD with extended playing times and different styles. With "Adam & Eve", the band present their latest work, which more than ever represents an overflowing interface of progressive rock, melodic rock, blues, and jazz.
