Europe

Europe's Come This Madness - the band's 12th studio album - is their most powerful, uncompromising statement to date. <br/><br/>Formed in Stockholm in 1983, Europe have remained one of rock's most enduring acts, with their classic line-up - Joey Tempest, John Norum, Mic Michaeli, John Levén and Ian Haugland - at the core of the band's identity for over 40 years. Rising to global prominence with the multi-platinum album The Final Countdown, they have sold over 15 million albums worldwide. Europe have seen it all. Pushed forward. Never stood still, and yet, they rise again. With their new album Come This Madness they continue to defy expectations, evolving, adapting, and pushing forward without compromise. Across songs like 'One on One', 'The Cult of Ignorance', and the title track 'Come This Madness', the band channel tension, truth, and raw energy into a record that feels both deeply personal and globally resonant. Come This Madness was recorded at RMV Studio and was produced by acclaimed producer Tom Dalgety who became a true creative force throughout the process, deeply embedded in the band's writing and recording, shaping the album's sound from the ground up. With Come This Madness, Europe deliver a landmark record that finds them fully realised and present, confronting the world as it is.

Released in 1986, the album was a huge commercial success selling over 3 million units in the United States alone, peaking at number 8 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and reaching high positions in charts worldwide.<br/><br/>Recorded at Powerplay Studios in Zürich, Switzerland, the band worked with American producer Kevin Elson, who had worked with bands like Journey and Lynyrd Skynyrd. "Rock The Night" and "Ninja" premiered on the band's Wings of Tomorrow tour in 1984. Five singles were released from the album: "The Final Countdown," "Love Chaser," "Rock the Night," "Carrie," and "Cherokee."<br/><br/>The song "The Final Countdown" was based on an old keyboard riff that Tempest had composed as early as 1981-82, on a Korg Polysix keyboard he had borrowed from Michaeli. In 1985 bassist John Levén suggested that Tempest should write a song based on that riff. The rest is Pop history.
