The Kingdom (Bush album)

The Kingdom is the eighth studio album by English rock band Bush. It was originally scheduled to be released in May 2020 but it was later pushed back to a release date of 17 July 2020. The band released two singles prior to the album, the first being "Bullet Holes" which was released in May 2019 and featured in the film John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, and the second single off the album was "Flowers on a Grave" and was released one year later in March 2020.

Although in part continuing the electronic-tinged alternative sound of the band's other post-reunion efforts, The Kingdom featured a harder sound than some of its previous efforts, with the songs being driven by guitar riffs and the sound recalling earlier Bush work from the 1990s and early 2000s; a review of its 2022 follow-up album stated that The Kingdom "repositioned" Bush as "riff-driven heavyweights". Described by frontman Gavin Rossdale as "snapshots of real life", the album's lyrics included many personal themes such as being misunderstood, taking major decisions and rising above challenges.
