KING OF SWEDEN

Finnish progressive rock band King of Sweden release their highly anticipated new single, ‘The Bay,‘ out now on Golden Robot Records. The single serves as the second offering from the band’s forthcoming sophomore album.

‘The Bay’ blends intricate time signatures, swapping between 7/8, 4/4, and 3/4, creating a dreamy, mellow, and subtly maritime atmosphere. True to the band’s signature sound, the track incorporates smooth textures from vibraphone and melodica, masterfully played by drummer Janne Savela, along with a stirring flute performance from guest musician Jan Tiusanen.

Lyrically, ‘The Bay’ explores themes of dealing with the past – its places and people – while reflecting on the emotional journey of letting go of what no longer feels alive and moving forward. It’s a reflective, yet uplifting track that draws listeners in with its soothing melodies and complex, evolving rhythms.

With their progressive approach to composition, King of Sweden continues to captivate audiences with their unique fusion of instrumental craftsmanship and evocative storytelling. Order ‘The Bay’ now and embark on a musical journey on September 27!

King of Sweden is a Finnish progressive rock band, founded in late 2019 by guitarist and singer Sampsa Nelimarkka, drummer Janne Savela and bass player Erkka Heinilä.

The trio had played together in the past, with Sampsa Nelimarkka playing the bass and Erkka Heinilä playing the guitar. This time they decided to switch instruments with each other and immediately found their sound.

Combining vintage and modern sound, King of Sweden plays honest progressive rock. They are deeply rooted in the old and classic progressive rock, however, they add to it a proper dose of fresh energy and some groovy and irresistible hard rock vibes. Jamming and improvisation remains important part of their music, as well as talented compositions.
