Swedish hard rock veterans EUROPE have entered Atlantis Studios in Stockholm with producer Klas Åhlund (GHOST, ROBYN) to begin working on a new song titled “Hold Your Head Up”. The track, which is described by the band as “a punchy uptempo rocker with reminiscent elements of early EUROPE,” will be released as a single on September 15. “Hold Your Head Up” will be mixed by Stefan Glaumann (RAMMSTEIN, DEF LEPPARD),who also mixed EUROPE‘s “Secret Society” album.
In other news, EUROPE is putting the finishing touches on a brand new documentary film with producer/director Craig Hooper (DEEP PURPLE, SAXON) for Coolhead Productions with the working title “Europe – The Movie”. The film will tell the story of the band, from formation until present day, including EUROPE‘s rise to success in the mid-1980s through hard times and heartache to coming back in the millennium and the current successes the group has achieved. An early 2024 release is expected.
“Walk The Earth” was released in October 2017 via Hell & Back Recordings (Silver Lining Music). It was recorded at famed Abbey Road Studios in London with the aforementioned Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb (RIVAL SONS, Shooter Jennings, Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton).
