The Kingdom is the eighth studio album by English rock band Bush. It was originally scheduled to be released in May 2020[3] but it was later pushed back to a release date of 17 July 2020.[4] 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.[1][5][6] 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.[7]
