素有“瑞典国宝”美誉的Europe，自1982年于瑞典全国业余摇滚乐团大赛中脱颖而出、赢得首奖以及唱片合约，并于1983年发行首张同名专辑开始，便以其深受欧洲古典艺术气息所影响而特有的优美旋律，融合重摇滚的爆发力、主唱高亢细致的嗓音以及简捷的曲式，直接且迅速地征服了全球的乐迷。瑞典本身是一个出电子舞曲的国家,瑞典舞曲音乐领域有七十年代ABBA,八十年代ROXETTE、九十年代ACE OF BASE...都是在世界上大名鼎鼎的乐队.Europe也深受影响,具有旋律优美的特点.虽然说Europe自1992年3月于英国朴茨茅斯完成最后的巡回演唱行程之后，便无预警地在其仍处于事业高峰之际就此就地解散、各奔前程，且在其十年的音乐生涯中，仅发表过5张录音室作品，却已足以创下全球数千万张的专辑以及千万张单曲销售纪录！
摇滚经典名曲《The Final Countdown》，Joey Tempest那嘹亮高亢的嗓音至今还是清澈地萦绕在无数Europe乐迷的心里！ 专辑一经推出即刻风靡全球，《The Final Countdown》此单曲在全球十多个国家获得排行榜冠军 ...也成了流行乐界永不退伍的摇滚名曲！
We're leaving together,
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back,
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown...
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
With so many light years to go and things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
