Swedish rockers EUROPE have released “The Cult Of Ignorance”, the second preview track off their forthcoming studio record “Come This Madness”, due on September 25 via Silver Lining Music.

As well as featuring EUROPE, the accompanying star-studded video showcases cameos from high-profile friends of the band, including renowned actress Malin Åkerman, former World No. 1 and multiple Grand Slam champion tennis player Stefan Edberg, astronaut Christer Fuglesang, Howling Pelle (THE HIVES), Mikael Åkerfeldt and Fredrik Åkesson (OPETH) and E-Type, alongside many other notable personalities from the world of music, film, fashion, sports and science.

Joey Tempest, founding member and frontman of EUROPE mentioned about the track:

I love this track! It’s a straightforward rock anthem with lyrics reflecting the times we live in, written slightly tongue in cheek. Mic [Michaeli, keyboards] came to me with this song idea while on tour in South America — I thought it was crazy good! We finished it together and it’s become a real banger! The title was inspired by a phrase coined by author and biochemist Isaac Asimov. It reflects some of the negative tendencies emerging in our world today, though it is written in a slightly light-hearted tone.

The “Come This Madness” album artwork was created by Storm Studios (PINK FLOYD, LED ZEPPELIN, MUSE) and can be seen below.
