Europe Releases “One On One” From New Album… Europe’s Come This Madness – the band’s 12th studio album – is their most powerful, uncompromising statement to date, set for release on September 25th via Silver Lining Music / Hell & Back Recordings.
Formed in Stockholm in 1983, Europe has 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 has 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 delivers a landmark record that finds them fully realized and present, confronting the world as it is.

The new single “One On One” is accompanied by a striking and unconventional music video, marking a bold new visual chapter for the band. Set in a stark, cinematic environment, the video centers on a single character – battered, broken, and emotionally exposed – brought to life in a powerful and deeply human performance by acclaimed actor Peter Stormare (Fargo, The Big Lebowski, Minority Report, 8MM, Armageddon).
“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.”
