Frontiers Music Srl is proud to announce the forthcoming release of Swedish melodic rock band Treat's ninth studio album, "The Endgame" on April 8, 2022. Pre-order/save "The Endgame" on CD/LP/Digital HERE: orcd.co/treat Watch the video for 'Home Of The Brave' HERE: ua-cam.com/video/cj1c5Lcyiw0/v-deo.html Over the years, both prior to and after their reunion, Treat have established themselves as leaders in the Swedish melodic hard rock scene. With bassist Nalle Påhlsson (who appeared on "Coup De Grace") back in the ranks, vocalist Robert Ernlund, guitarist Anders ”Gary” Wikström, drummer Jamie Borger, and keyboardist Patrick Appelgren have once again set a course for yet another exciting musical journey. Twelve songs in total, including uptempo rockers, ballads, '80s sounding gems, and ones with musical influences beyond the ordinary, make this album another definitive statement by the quintet from the south of Stockholm. Produced by Peter Mansson (who also helmed "Tunguska" and "Ghost Of Graceland"), "The Endgame," by all means qualifies as a true classic album from Treat. "We always want to make albums that are better than the last one. The album title, to me, represents many things about Treat in this day and age, including the sincerity and history of the band. But also the fight to survive as a band like brothers in arms, through all these years of highs and lows, tears and laughter. Seriously, we grew up together in the '80s, learning how to make our brand of Melodic Hard Rock by heart and we still continue to work that hard even today. We're as close as a family and we're blessed to still be able to get in the ring and be on top of our game," says guitarist Anders Wikstrom. For a band that's been going for nearly four decades, inspiration and the drive to create fresh material still propels Treat. "Well, for me, it always starts with the song, and that exciting feeling which leads to the next one, and so on. As a longtime songwriter, I trust my gut instinct, but I know the material will take new and better shape when the rest of the guys get in the creative loop, and remember, deep down we're still kids and fans of great rock music and we still get excited when a cool idea turns into a great song," says Wikstrom."We were focused on making the best possible Treat effort, and all of us decided, early on, to make this a positive and uplifting record to be proud of in the years to come. I guess we found the working process to be our sane and safe haven in the midst of this new daily life none of us could have predicted would happen," he continues. "We started the basic track recordings in Atlantis Studios in Stockholm in November 2020, moved on to Baggpipe Studios and Peter Mansson´s Mir Studios in the spring/summer of 2021 for lead vocals and overdubs, then finished mixing in Mir Studios in Stockholm in October 2021. Most of us have our own studios at home, where we do additional tracking, but to get the sound we wanted for "The Endgame", we did take our time to find the right recording rooms and studio facilities, and the result speaks for itself!""Peter [Mansson] is one of the best rock producers I know, and also a longtime friend. He knows us inside out, pros and cons, and will always give an arm and a leg to make our vision come true. His contribution to this album as producer, recording and mixing engineer is outstanding. He´s also an excellent musician and he's become almost like a sixth member of the gang, a fantastic guy and we love him," adds Wikstrom."We really hope our fans will love this album as much we do because we made it for YOU!" he concludes.

When powerful doesn't mean noisy. Can't stop listening to this song, no matter if I'm taking a bath or power walking. The guitar solo is beautiful. Perfect song!
I don’t know what I would do without bands like Treat. Keeping the hard rock sound alive and better than it ever was before. This song here is a summertime car windows down maximum volume masterpiece.
It really is a shame this band isn't more well known especially in the United States... Since they reformed again I think they've gotten even better with the material being even stronger than their '80s Hey day ..... Thank you for the music and this amazing song... American bands need to take a great look at what's been happening for years over in Europe especially Sweden... Just great music great hooks with modern flair with a throwback style... Throw in Norway's wigwam as well.. ..
Treat is the epitome of European Hard Rock sound. Only bands like Europe, Pink Cream 69 and just a few more can reach the majestic sounds that Treat produce in the studio. I am watching them since the late '80s and they always keep coming with super hits!
Wow! Such a beautiful sound and tune! I really love the 80s touch. You guys rock than any mainstream artists today. Keep it up! Much love from a millenial🤘
Carolina Reaper Is An Absolutely Awesome Spectacular Great Straight Up Rock N Roll Song By Treat And Totally Rocks This Song Needs To Be Fully Cranked Up All The Way To Full Maximum Volume.
Wow! Perfect on so many levels. It's not often that a song, a group, a production and mixing team check all the boxes in a four minute plus song. This song, formula, musicianship and singing, along with packaging should have mass appeal. And most importantly, this is a gateway song to want to find more about this group. Job well done, gent.s and any ladies behind the scenes.
these guys are incredible, especially their new album The gameover is an absolutely brilliant fresh product that can make them envious of a band many years younger. Keep going and I hope to see you in Prague soon
"The Real Music Observer" recommended this band on his channel. I'm grateful for him promoting bands I've never heard of, it's a treat when they turn out good.
My new favorite song of 2022 so far. I honestly can't quit listening to it. If the rest of the album is up to this standard, it's going to be absolutely killer! Pre-ordered already!
Uffff uffff uffffff what a bombshell!!!!! It had been a long time since something like this had been heard, production, mix, quality, strength..... These songs arrive by the dropper but welcome, remember the best times of Signal, Harem Scarem, Leppard, Bonfire, etc...
still one of thr best voices in rock. Great songs, great musicionship...American corporate dreck radio should be ashamed playing the crap they do instead of this. Should be a legitimate conteneder for a Grammy
I like this song,hard rock bands is not so high in my list but i never forget that i grow up with their music. I never heard about this band,i read that is from Sweden and the bass player of this band maybe is from Therion or just be synonymous i don't know. I will try to find other songs as well from the band.

What's amazing about this band is that not only is the quality of their songs high, but the singer's voice remains youthful.
When powerful doesn't mean noisy. Can't stop listening to this song, no matter if I'm taking a bath or power walking. The guitar solo is beautiful. Perfect song!
Well said...
いや同世代。年を取りました。でも相変わらず演奏。動きがいいね。最高
