Swedish melodic rock pioneers TREAT are set to make a bold statement in 2025 with the release of their ninth studio album: The Wild Card. Arriving three years after their critically acclaimed 2022 release The Endgame, the album continues the bandâ€™s legacy of delivering high-energy melodic hard rock with massive hooks, layered harmonies, and stadium-sized anthems.

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 â€” but 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.

â€œThe Wild Cardâ€ marks their fifth album since the reunion and solidifies the chemistry of their current, long-standing lineup: Robert Ernlund (vocals), Anders WikstrÃ¶m (guitar), Patrick Appelgren (keyboards), Jamie Borger (drums), and Nalley Pahlsson (bass). The album is once again produced and mixed by Peter MÃ¥nsson, 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 â€œThe Wild Cardâ€ is anything but a gamble â€” it's a winning hand from a band thatâ€™s still at the top of their game.
