Swedish melodic rock pioneers TREAT are set to make a bold statement in 2025 with the release of their tenth studio album, ‘The Wild Card.’
Arriving three years after their critically acclaimed 2022 release ‘The Endgame,’ the album continues the band’s legacy of delivering high-energy melodic hard rock with massive hooks, layered harmonies, and stadium-sized anthems.
Guitarist Anders Wikström discussed how the album came to life:
“I set out to write an album that would be a musical timeline for our whole career, and it carries the message in each song both musically and lyrically. It takes the band full circle, something that I actually had in mind with our last album ‘The Endgame‘ and have now completed.
“We made this album for us and the fans, and we became better at what we do together with our producer Peter Månsson. This is the first album we’ve made that actually has a story timeline embedded, subtle but still there, starting from the early 80s up until now, and every song stands on its own in a collection of the best songs we could muster.”
Wikström concluded:
“I’m really proud of ‘The Wild Card,’ it’s the strongest collection of songs we’ve put out in a long time, everybody in the band is really showcasing their best ability on this record and worked really hard to make this very special, to make the band’s legacy memorable.”
‘The Wild Card‘ Track List:
Formed in Stockholm in the early 1980s, TREAT quickly rose to prominence with their blend of melodic hard rock and AOR, sharing the spotlight with fellow Scandinavian acts like Europe and Pretty Maids.
After a decade of success, lineup changes and industry shifts led to a hiatus in the 1990s. However, the band returned stronger than ever with their 2006 reunion, ushering in a new era of creative resurgence and fan devotion across Europe, Japan, and beyond.
‘The Wild Card‘ marks their fifth album since the reunion and solidifies the chemistry of their current, long-standing lineup: Robert Ernlund (vocals), Anders Wikström (guitar), Patrick Appelgren (keyboards), Jamie Borger (drums), and Nalley Pahlsson (bass).
The album is once again produced and mixed by Peter Månsson, whose collaboration with the band continues to deliver the polished, punchy sound fans have come to love.
Armed with fresh energy and an unwavering commitment to their roots, TREAT are ready to show the world that ‘The Wild Card‘ is anything but a gamble – it’s a winning hand from a band that’s still at the top of their game.
