Unfold the Future is the seventh studio album by the progressive rock band The Flower Kings, which was released in 2002. It is also the band's third studio double-CD. A limited special edition of the album contained an instrumental bonus track.
This album is the first appearance of both drummer Zoltan Csörsz, replacing the original member Jaime Salazar, and Pain of Salvation's frontman Daniel Gildenlöw, the latter as a guest vocalist on several tracks.
The style of the album shows several influences of jazz music and experimentation, with the inclusion of two free-form jams (or three, counting the special edition bonus track), along with the band's traditional symphonic progressive rock style.
In 2017, the album was remixed and reissued on vinyl. The 2017 version was also included in the box set A Kingdom of Colours: The Complete Collection from 1995–2002.[1]
Note: For the 2017 reissue, "Devil's Playground" has a reduced running time of 19:02.
