Kingwood is the sixth album by Swedish punk rock band Millencolin, released on 30 March 2005 in Sweden and 12 April 2005 in North America. The song "Farewell My Hell" originated as an idea for singer Nikola Šarčević's first solo album, but was used for Kingwood instead. "Farewell My Hell" was played prominently in the Swedish vampire comedy horror film Frostbite.
