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.
This historic release is presented as a special collaboration between Retroactive Records in the United States and Melodic Passion Records, the Swedish label founded by Christian Liljegren. Together, the two labels have brought these long-lost recordings to life exactly as they were intended to be heard.
The album delivers soaring vocals, memorable hooks, powerful guitar work, and timeless melodic hard rock rooted in the golden era of European Christian metal. Rather than sounding like an archival release, The Kingdom stands proudly alongside the classic albums that inspired it.
Pressed on stunning Emerald Green Vinyl, this deluxe collector's edition includes a full-size 12" x 12" two-panel lyrics insert, allowing fans to experience both the music and lyrics in a premium vinyl presentation.
Limited to only 300 copies worldwide, this landmark release celebrates the legacy of three highly respected musicians whose combined careers include Leviticus, XT, Narnia, DivineFire, Audiovision, and many other acclaimed projects. More than three decades in the making, The Kingdom is finally available on vinyl for the first time and is destined to become a centerpiece in Christian melodic metal collections everywhere.
