After nine years, Swedish hard rockers EUROPE return with "Come This Madness", their twelfth studio album and their most powerful, uncompromising statement to date. "Come This Madness" is set for release on September 25 via Silver Lining Music/ Hell & Back Recordings.

EUROPE have seen it all. Pushed forward. Never stood still. And still, they rise again, continuing 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 channels tension, truth, and raw energy into a record that feels both deeply personal and globally resonant.

The first single, "One On One", is out today, marking a powerful reintroduction to a band that has never sounded more focused. Built around a driving bass riff and layered with soaring melodies, the track blends EUROPE's classic sound with a fresh, modern energy. Opening with an orchestral-led intro before moving into a riff-driven core, it builds into a high-impact, arena-ready hard rock moment. Written during a time of global stillness but developed over years, the song reflects both persistence and evolution — a track the band refused to let go of, ultimately shaping it into a defining moment on "Come This Madness".

"Come This Madness" was recorded at RMV Studio, the Stockholm-based recording facility founded by Benny Andersson and Ludvig Andersson. The album features special guest appearances from Tobias Forge (GHOST) and Mikael Åkerfeldt (OPETH) and was produced by acclaimed producer Tom Dalgety (GHOST, RAMMSTEIN, PIXIES, THE CULT, OPETH),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. To bring the project to its final stage and complete their vision, the band turned to one of rock's most respected recording legends Mike Fraser (AC/DC, VAN HALEN, METALLICA, THE CULT, LOVERBOY) to mix the record.
