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.

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.

When you play Another Nail in the Coffin, Sha-Boom's latest album produced and mixed by renowned producer and collaborator Erik Mårtensson, it is a warm, wonderful, vintage-timeless trip back to the halcyon '80s days when songs and melodies mattered. <br/>Boasting big choruses and plenty of smiles, Another Nail in the Coffin is only interested in bringing you back to days when fun was the name of the rock 'n' roll game. "Never Stop" is pure AOR-style top-down cruising down the highway, "Walk (Far Away)" is like a grand, multi-layered rock 'n' roll sea shanty with a twist of glam, "Another Nail in the Coffin" has the swagger and attitude of early Def Leppard, and "One More Drink for the Road" sees the Sha-Boom family go full-generational, as the daughter of Finn's long-time friend and collaborator Thomas Vikström (Therion, Candlemass) - singer Linnéa Vikström of Thundermother - joins the party. <br/>Throughout, Another Nail in the Coffin boasts timeless, anthemic melodies which exude fun and positivity, free of guilt or shackles.

On their forthcoming 25th studio album, the British heavy metal legends deliver ten powerful, quintessential Saxon songs spanning a broad range of historically charged themes, from ancient mythology to the brutal realities of royal history.<br/><br/>Produced by legendary founder and frontman Biff Byford and mixed by Andy Sneap, Gods of Thunder captures the band at the height of their powers, combining forceful performances with vivid, meticulously crafted storytelling. <br/><br/>Each track is built around the weight, dynamics and intricate arrangements that have long defined Saxon's music, while the album as a whole maintains a strong sense of focus and efficiency.Take "Medusa", driven by a taut, mesmeric riff and delivered at a relentless pace, while the title track, "Gods of Thunder", is a powerful, anthemic journey into the world of Celtic mythology. <br/><br/>Byford's longstanding passion for history is central to the album, with his distinctive storytelling bringing characters and events from the past vividly to life. <br/><br/>On "The Bloody Tower (The Ballad of Anne Boleyn)", he recounts the politically charged execution of Anne Boleyn, while "Remember the Alamo" charges forward with the fast-paced energy and spirit of early '80s NWOBHM. <br/><br/>The twin-guitar attack of Doug Scarratt and Brian Tatler is particularly prominent on "Temple of Rock", underpinned by the rock-solid rhythm section of Nigel Glocker and Tim 'Nibbs' Carter. <br/><br/>The album closes with "MI5", a timeless headbanger that brings together themes of the Berlin Wall and Cold War espionage.Gods of Thunder is a focused, powerful statement from one of British heavy metal's most enduring bands, with Saxon sounding as vital and uncompromising as ever.

If Europe's 2015 album "War Of Kings" was the album that made the rock world realise what a formidable act Europe had become then "Walk The Earth" is the album that is set to establish the band as one of the most exciting contemporary rock acts of current times.<br/><br/>From the anthemic sound of the opening track "Walk The Earth" - to the heavy vibe that is "Haze", from the instant melody of "Election Day" to the lyrical content of "Kingdom United", "Walk The Earth" is the album that should see Europe rightly acclaimed as a band at the height of their powers. The wonderful melodies and depth of Joey Tempest's vocals along with a powerhouse rhythm section and the guitar playing of John Norum, one of the great underrated guitarists. Norum's guitar playing shines across the record. This is an album that is big in its scope and sound. Much like previous album "War Of Kings", "Walk The Earth" is an album that has instant appeal but is also an album that needs to be lived with, in order to uncover its depth. The album was recorded at famed Abbey Road Studios in London with Grammy winning producer Dave Cobb (Rival Sons, Shooter Jennings, Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton).<br/><br/>DVD Special Edition Content:<br/>30+ minutes Bonus DVD featuring the individual band members discussing their time and their recording experience at Abbey Road.
