EUROPE To Guest On IRON MAIDEN Singer BRUCE DICKINSON's BBC 6 Music Friday Rock Show





Long-running Swedish hard rockers EUROPE are scheduled to appear on IRON MAIDEN singer BRUCE DICKINSON's BBC 6 Music Friday Rock Show on Friday, September 11th. Further show details can be found here.

Europe have announced a September 14th release of their eighth studio album Last Look At Eden - the first studio album since 2006's critically acclaimed Secret Society. The album will be released by Edel Germany's international rock music label earMUSIC.

Last Look At Eden tracklisting: 'Prelude', 'Last Look At Eden', 'Gonna Get Ready', 'Catch That Plane', 'New Love In Town', 'The Beast', 'Mojito Girl', 'No Stone Unturned', 'Only Young Twice', 'U Devil U', 'Run With The Angels', 'In My Time'.

To coincide with the band's headline appearance at the Bloodstock Festival on August 16th (www.bloodstock.uk.com), Europe will release the Last Look At Eden five-track mini album on Monday August 10th, featuring the album's title track as well as a previously never-before-released live version of the LED ZEPPELIN classic 'Since I've Been Loving You'.









An official press release on the album reads as follows:

After shooting to fame in 1986 with the hugely successful single 'The Final Countdown', Europe spent the next 10 years touring the world and released two further albums Out Of This World and Prisoners In Paradise. After taking a break from the limelight for most of the 1990's, a break which many fans thought would be the end of the band, Europe got back together for a one-off new year's eve performance in Stockholm in 1999 and announced their official reunion in 2003 by welcoming back original guitarist and founding member John Norum. Since then, Europe has released two studio albums - Start From The Dark (2004) and Secret Society (2006).

Now back and stronger than ever before, Europe gear up to release Last Look At Eden - a monumental hard rock album packed with undeniably skilled song writing and musicianship. The album features John Norum's signature guitar tones and proves that Joey Tempest still has one of the most powerful and gifted voices in rock music today.

From the epic title track to the melodic ballad 'New Love in Town' this album is on another level, less extreme than previous offering Secret Society and with matured sound, Last Look At Eden is a mix of all the elements that have made Europe famous the world over.

"This time we're taking a new direction with out songs, and we're exploring different styles," says Tempest. "There is a definite classic rock vibe on several tracks on this album - a tip of the hat to groovin', funkin' '70's rock songs, with a modern twist."

Adds Tempest - "We've got a couple of great ballads, plus some thundering rock tracks that will put you flat on your ass! We've taken the best bits from our recent albums and taken it to a new level Last Look At Eden is more of a Europe album than Secret Society or Start From The Dark. We had to make those albums in order to do this."
