ABOUT THE ALBUM
Some albums take months to complete. The Kingdom took more than thirty years.
Originally conceived in the late 1980s, this remarkable collaboration between American guitarist Ken Adler, Swedish vocalist Christian Liljegren, and legendary Leviticus and XT guitarist Björn Stigsson remained unfinished for decades before finally being completed and released for the very first time.
The recordings capture the passion and spirit of classic Christian melodic metal, combining soaring vocals, memorable hooks, powerful guitar work, and uplifting lyrics. Rather than sounding like a collection of unfinished demos, The Kingdom stands as a fully realized album that feels both timeless and fresh.
The deluxe CD edition is packaged in a jewel case with a beautifully designed 12-page booklet featuring lyrics, rare photographs, and the incredible story of how these recordings were rediscovered and lovingly completed more than three decades after they began. It also includes the exclusive bonus track "Waves," a powerful cover of the Resurrection Band classic available only on the CD edition.
Featuring three highly respected musicians whose combined careers span Leviticus, XT, Narnia, DivineFire, Audiovision, and numerous other projects, The Kingdom is a landmark release that Christian metal fans have unknowingly been waiting decades to hear.
Limited to just 500 CDs, this historic release belongs in every serious Christian metal collection. The album and booklet document the remarkable story of recordings begun in the late 1980s and finally completed for release in 2026.
