The new album of Europe, 'War of Kings', was released in March of this year. The material was recorded at the new PanGaia studios in Stockholm and produced by Dave Cobb (Rival Sons). 'War of Kings' is available on CD digipak, CD jewel case, vinyl and digital download.

Joey Tempest, John Norum, John Levén, Mic Michaeli and Ian Haugland make up the group, which took a long break in 1992, reuniting in 2003. Since then, and under a new style, closer to the hard rock of the 70s, they have released five more albums: Start from the Dark (2004), Secret Society (2006), Last Look at Eden (2009), Bag of Bones (2012) and the aforementioned War of Kings (2015).

'War of Kings' is the band's tenth studio album, produced under the new German label UDR Records. Joey Tempest stated that “War of Kings is the album we always wanted to make, since we were kids listening to bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, and after hearing Dave Cobb on his incredible production for Rival Sons we just had to work with he".
