Europe have announced their 12th studio album, Come This Madness, set to be released on September 25th via Silver Lining Music/Hell & Back Recordings. The first single, "One on One," is out now.
"'One On One' is definitely one of my favorite tracks from the album," says Europe founding member and frontman Joey Tempest. "The power and feel are fresh, but some of the melodies bring me back to where it all began. Lyrically, it's perhaps not filled with as much escapism as early Europe. These lyrics automatically ended up being more of a reflection of the times we live in today."
He adds, "Ever since 'One On One' was just a demo, we've stayed with it…never gave up on it, and elevated it to a place where it belongs: a high-flying, classic hard rock track."
"One On One" is accompanied by a video directed by Patric Ullaeus.
"We always knew Peter loved rock music, and when his name came up, it just felt right," continues Tempest. "We wanted to approach this from a different angle - something more stripped back and unexpected."
Come This Madness is a follow-up to Europe's last album, Walk The Earth, which was released in October 2017 via Hell & Back Recordings (Silver Lining Music). It was recorded at famed Abbey Road Studios in London with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb.
