## Description

Swedish rock legends Europe will release their 10th album, War of Kings, in March 2015. Recorded at the brand new PanGaia Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, produced by Dave Cobb (Rival Sons) and engineered by John Netti, War of Kings sees the classic rocking quintet confidently creating 11 monsterously melodic, yet hard-hitting, classic rock’n’roll standouts for their fervent global audience. War of Kings will be available in multiple formats, as a CD digipak, a CD jewel case, a vinyl LP and in digital download format. The album will be released in the UK on March 2nd, Japan on March 4th (via JVC), the EU on March 6th and the US on March 10th.

Review: Best hard rock of 2015 - I have ignored the band and laugh at it since I was a teenager, but the saddest thing is that I never ever really sat down and listen to any of their albums till now, thanks to the awesome first single “War of Kings” which sounded more like Heaven and Hell than the band I always thought of being cheesy. War of Kings is the 12th album of the Swedish band and it is absolutely stellar; almost an hour of the best hard rock you can probably listen to in 2015, twelve tracks with no filler and a great production job. It is interesting to see that the band chose Dave Cobb as a producer, a man that I already knew for his credits in the last Jason Isbell or Jamie Johnson. He is primarily a country producer even though, and probably that is the missing link here, he worked in the last three Rival Sons’ albums which sound pretty similar to this one. The album sounds modern and loud but organic and dynamic, a rarity these days. The drums have a Bonham feel to them, are groovy and sound alive. The bass is present at all times, the guitars have soul and the vocal breath feeling and personality. The main strong point is that there is not a single bad or ok song in this album, every single guitar lick, drum pattern and vocal line sounds fresh and energetic, just listen to “Children of The Mind”, album opener “War of Kings” or the incredible and bluesy “Praise You”. The album starts strong, never gets boring and ends stronger with four of the best tracks, “Children of The Mind”, “Rainbow Bridge”, “Angels” and “Light Me Up”, this last one being an absolute masterpiece of melodic rock madness that I think talks about smoking weed, and has an air guitar material killer solo. In the digipack edition you will find another extra track, the instrumental “Vasastan” which is also worth listening to and that it has a clear Pink Floyd feel. This album has been the biggest surprised this year, an album that will make you wanna dive into the band’s discography, like I’m doing right now, and ask them for forgiveness if you ever see them walking down the street. That good.
Review: Just May Be Their Best - I’ve been a Europe fan since I walked into a record store that sold used cassettes (!) in 1986 and heard “The Final Countdown,” from the album of the same name. I quickly devoured their back catalogue, including the self-titled debut album (1983) and the follow-up Wings of Tomorrow (1984). “The Final Countdown” would make it all the way to # 8 in the US and their follow-up, “Carrie,” would do even better, going to #3 in 1987. Fame did not last for Europe, however. Their next album, Out of This World (1988) would yield only one hit single, “Superstitious,” which climbed to #31 in the US. The band attempted to follow-up in 1990 with the never-released Seventh Sign, which was rejected by their label (Epic). Europe ultimately released Prisoners in Paradise in 1991, however, the album failed to make an impression commercially or critically. Tracks from the doomed Seventh Sign would trickle out on various releases over the next 10 years, but many remain unreleased. Europe was dropped by Epic following the release of Prisoners. Although they would never regain the success of the 1980s, Europe would return in 2003 with Start from the Dark. The album revealed a rejuvenated, heavier, guitar-laced, bluesy sound which has formed the template for all Europe albums since, including: Secret Society (2006), Last Look at Eden (2009), Bag of Bones (2012), and War of Kings (2015). War of Kings is the band’s 10th album and their first with the UDR label. The title track reveals a heavier sound than has been present since, perhaps, Secret Society. Joey Tempest’s voice remains as clear, strong, and immediately recognizable as it did in 1983. My favorite track is, arguably, “Praise You,” which starts with a crunchy metal sound before transitioning into a bluesy swagger and then yet again into a ballad. It’s just a fantastic tune all around, one of the band’s best certainly. Another favorite is the straightforward ballad “Angels (With Broken Hearts). If you’re a fan of classic Europe ballads like “Carrie,” “Dreamer,” or “Open Your Heart,” you will enjoy this one. There really isn’t a dud on this disc and I’d say it is one of Europe’s strongest album. In fact, it may be their best, though it’s tough to overcome the nostalgia of being 16 years old and hearing “The Final Countdown” for the first time.

It's brand new. It's a hard rocking Europe album. Not everything sounds like Final Countdown. I highly recommend it.
