Europe's New Album 'Come This Madness' Drops September 25

0:00It's April 28th. Welcome in. This is Music News Today, where music meets AI. I'm Corey with The Story. Europe's dropping their 12th studio album, Come This Madness, on September 25th. It's their first full-length and nearly a decade since Walk the Earth back in 2017, and pre-orders are live right now. They kick things off with the lead single One-on-One, a base-heavy mid-tempo track that opens the album. The video is out too, giving fans a solid preview of what's coming. Formed in Sweden in 1979, the band started with a progressive, heavy metal vibe on early records like their self-titled debut in 1983, and Wings of Tomorrow, the next year. But they hit global fame with the final countdown in 1986, going triple platinum thanks to that massive title track and the power, Ballad Carry. After splitting post-1991's Prisoners and Paradise, they were formed in 2004 with start from the dark and kept touring, and recording steady.

1:01Now they've got dozens of European shows lined up from June through October, including Final Countdown's 40th anniversary run starting late, September. Fans are buzzing online about the fresh sound, and with this album plus those anniversary gigs, Europe's proving they're still carrying that classic. Fire into the next chapter.
