(ABC) Europe return with another striking glimpse of their forthcoming studio album Come This Madness, unveiling the anthemic new single "Scandinavian Eyes," which arrives with a melody that gets under your skin almost immediately. Come This Madness is set for release on September 25 via Silver Lining Music. Pre-orders are available now.

Built around a driving riff, an unmistakable chorus, soaring vocal lines and arrangements, "Scandinavian Eyes" is the kind of song that feels like a symphony built for the stage. There is an expansive quality to the track, with Europe combining the power and immediacy of rock with the depth of orchestral music.

"This driving riff, orchestral magic, vocal and guitar melodies make this one of my favourite Europe songs in a long time! says Europe's founding member and frontman Joey Tempest. "A lyric about crossing the line between good and 'not so good'...We're very proud of this track and can't wait to perform it live!"

The accompanying performance video, directed by Patric Ullaeus, captures Europe firing on all cylinders and showcasing the full force of their live presence. It puts their chemistry, musicianship and sheer energy front and centre, allowing the intensity of "Scandinavian Eyes" to speak for itself.

Europe's new studio album, Come This Madness, signals a powerful new chapter for one of rock's most enduring acts. 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.
