The artwork, once again created by Silas Toball, can be viewed below. The band had this to say about the forthcoming release:
"Being somewhat of a political statement, the epic theme of 'Desolation Rose' is a logical step in a time where perpetual war, famine, environmental threats, and religious conflicts dominate the media and our minds.
This is a time to wake up, and the music on this album takes you on a journey where you are forced to question what the mainstream media feed us, and to rethink your whole world view on all of the above.
This is in many ways a typical Flower Kings album but we have also taken it into another realm where we do take chances and where you may struggle to get into the music - or the lyrics - but trust me when I say you will be rewarded, as this may be our most involved, important, and interesting album ever! " - Roine Stolt
