Alien – The Comeback of a Swedish Rock Legacy

Formed in Gothenburg in 1986, Alien quickly rose to fame with their self-titled debut album Alien in 1988, featuring the unforgettable hit singles “Tears Don’t Put Out The Fire” and “Only One Woman.” The band became a staple of the melodic rock scene, capturing hearts across Europe and beyond.

Over the decades, Alien has weathered the changes of time and lineup, delivering acclaimed albums like Shiftin’ Gear(1990), Crash (1995), and Dark Eyes (2005), each marking a chapter in the band’s storied evolution.

In 2014, the original lineup reunited for the celebrated release of Eternity, a powerful reminder of the band’s enduring chemistry. Four years later, in 2018, Alien marked their 30th anniversary with a triumphant tour across Sweden and Germany, reconnecting with loyal fans and igniting new ones.

In 2020, the band released Into the Future, proving they were far from finished.

Now, in 2025, Alien returns stronger than ever.

Kicking off the year with single releases in January and February, the band unleashed their brand-new album “When Yesterday Comes Around” in March 2025 — a record hailed as their most powerful since their iconic debut. Fueled by passion, precision, and pure melodic rock energy, Alien is officially back — and ready to reclaim their place at the top of the genre.
