In a triumphant return to the spotlight, Swedish rock veterans ALIEN are set to release their highly anticipated new album “When Yesterday Comes Around” in 2025, marking another milestone in their illustrious career spanning nearly four decades.
The Gothenburg-formed outfit, which has been a cornerstone of the melodic hard rock scene since 1986, promises to deliver a fresh take on their classic sound with the upcoming release. “When Yesterday Comes Around” aims to bridge the gap between the band’s storied past and contemporary rock sensibilities, following the success of their 2020 album “Into the Future.”
ALIEN’s journey began with their explosive self-titled debut in 1988, which spawned the international hit “Only One Woman.” The track, which has amassed nearly 6 million streams on Spotify, achieved gold status in Sweden and established the band’s presence across Europe, the United States, and Japan.
“We’re bringing back the glory days with a modern twist,” says vocalist Jim Jidhed, whose distinctive voice has been one of the band’s hallmarks since their inception. Alongside Jidhed, guitarist Tony Borg and drummer Toby Tarrach continue to form the powerhouse lineup that has earned ALIEN their reputation for electrifying performances.
Fans won’t have to wait long to experience the new material live. The band has confirmed their appearance at the prestigious Sweden Rock Festival on June 4th, followed by an ambitious South American tour scheduled for fall 2025. These performances promise to showcase why ALIEN remains one of Sweden’s most enduring rock acts, known for their signature blend of melodic hard rock and AOR (Album-Oriented Rock).
From their gold-certified beginnings to their current status as melodic rock stalwarts, ALIEN has consistently demonstrated their ability to evolve while maintaining the core sound that first captivated audiences in the 1980s. As they prepare to add another chapter to their legacy, it’s clear that this Swedish powerhouse shows no signs of slowing down.
