GATHERING OF KINGS To Perform At SWEDEN ROCK FESTIVAL; Releases 'Love Will Stay Alive' Video

The official video for the song "Love Will Stay Alive" from Swedish project GATHERING OF KINGS can be seen below. The fourth single from the upcoming debut album, "First Mission", features Rick Altzi (Masterplan, Herman Frank), Nalle Påhlsson (Therion, Treat), Victor Olsson (Saffire), Apollo Papathanasio (Spiritual Beggars, Firewind), Erik Wiss (Cap Outrun) and Efraim Larsson (Streamline).

"First Mission" will arrive in late January 2019!

The Album was produced, mixed, and mastered by Thomas Plec Johansson (Soilwork, The Night Flight Orchestra, Nocturnal Rites, Dynazty) at The Panic Room in Skövde, Sweden.

All songs written by Victor Olsson except "The Runaway", which was written by Maurice Gibb & Robin Gibb from Bee Gees. The song is a cover of Carolas hit single from 1986. So that's a tribute to the best swedish female singer of all time!

The cover artwork was created by the German artist Markus Vesper.

GATHERING OF KINGS will make its first-ever live appearance at next year's edition of the Sweden Rock Festival, set to take place June 5-8, 2019 in Sölvesborg, Sweden.
