EUROPE: 'No Rest For The Wicked!'

July 5, 2006

Reunited Swedish hard rockers EUROPE are continuing work on the follow-up to 2004's "Start from the Dark", tentatively due this fall. The band have posted the following studio update on their official web site:

"Yesterday [Monday, July 3] we started working in the studio again after a week-long break. John Norum is working on the guitars in studio 1, and Mic [Michaeli] and Joey [Tempest] are working in studio 2 with keyboards and vocals... No rest for the wicked! The schedule is fairly tight since the first song is being sent over to Stefan Glaumann for mixing... tomorrow! We're also working on the record cover and some ideas for the first video as we speak."

As previously reported, EUROPE's acoustic version of "Yesterday's News", recorded during an appearance on the Stockholm, Sweden radio station 106.7 Rockklassiker on December 7, 2005, has been made available for download at this location.

EUROPE entered the Swedish Music DVD chart at position No. 9 in December 2005 with their live DVD, entitled "Live from the Dark". The two-disc set features the group's November 15, 2004 concert at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, England along with video clips, interviews, band information and a section called "Taxi Diaries."

The group's first collection of new material since 1991's "Prisoners In Paradise", "Start from the Dark" (2004) was produced by Kevin Elson, who had previously worked with EUROPE on their multi-platinum 1986 release, "Final Countdown".
