KING OF SWEDEN Released Third Full-Length Album “Interregnum”

Finnish progressive rock band KING OF SWEDEN released their third full-length album on 29th May 2026. The album is called Interregnum and it is released by Eclipse Music. Interregnum is out both on streaming platforms and as a physical CD which is available for purchase on King of Sweden’s live show’s and through their social media. Following the album release, King of Sweden perform several live shows, beginning in Hard Rock House, Helsinki yesterday on 30.5. and continuing at the Prog for Peart festival in Abingdon, UK on 17.7.

Interregnum consists of 4 songs: Movie Night is an energetic, guitar based progressive rock song, including Influences from old school hard rock bands such as Uriah Heep and Deep Purple as well as early Camel and proto-prog band The Nice. Movie Night is followed by Yes-influenced, peaceful ballad Breath, which deals with the contemporary and transient nature of life. The third song of the album is Father of Soup, a seven-minute-song with an energetic start in 11/8 time signature, influenced by 80’s King Crimson and a ballad ending in the second half of the song. The final song of the album is almost 20-minute-long Recursion, an epic closing track with influences of Rush and Tasavallan Presidentti.

King of Sweden has previously released two full-length albums by international indie label Golden Robot Records in 2021 and 2024. The band’s line-up has changed multiple times since being found in 2019. Therefore, the album name ‘Interregnum’ can be seen as a reference to the turbulent and uncertain times in the midst of ongoing changes and between what has been and what is about to be.
