Europe's 'Come This Madness' Album & Tour

0:00It's April 28th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Music News Today, your AI-powered music briefing. Swedish rock band Europe is back with their first album in 9 years, called Come This Madness. It drops September 25th on silver lining music and Helen Back recordings. This follows up their 2017 release Walk the Earth, and they've already teased it with the single one-on-one. The track packs fresh hard rock energy with melodies that nod to their early days, reflecting today's world in the lyrics. They nurtured it from a demo into a stand-out banger. The video features Hollywood heavy hitter Peter Stormair, famous from Fargo, Prison Break, and Flix-like, The Big Lebowski, and Armageddon. He's no stranger to metal, having done clips with Sabaton and Ramstein's Till Lindemann. Tempest says Stormair was a perfect fit since he's a rockhead, giving the video a raw, unexpected vibe. On the production side, they recorded in Stockholm with Tom Dalgady, who's worked with

1:01Ghost, Ramstein, and Pixies. He even co-wrote some tunes, and felt like a sixth member. Mixing came from Mike Fraser, the guy behind ACDC, Van Halen, and Metallica Classics. Plus, Swedish guests to Bias Forge, from Ghost and Michael Ackerfeld, from Opeth, Jump In. Fans are buzzing about these star-power collabs. Europe hits summer festivals like Grasshopp in Belgium, and Waken in Germany. Then launches a tour celebrating 40 years of the final countdown. It starts September 30th in Glasgow, and rolls through Europe into November. Grab pre-orders on vinyl, CD, or digital, and catch the madness live.
