Walk the Earth is the eleventh studio album by the Swedish rock band Europe. It will be released on October 20, 2017. The album was produced by Dave Cobb and recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.

Album was recorded in Abbey Road Studios in London in period of two weeks. Band came to studio with ten songs and produced them with Dave Cobb. "GTO" is a song that originates from riff made by John Norum. Band was looking for an up-tempo song for the album, so Norum presented his idea for the riff. He worked on that riff with Cobb in the studio and later Joey Tempest co-wrote the lyrics also with Cobb. Lyrically, it became car song, about love for the road and freedom. Musically, it was influenced by Deep Purple. Song "Pictures" originates from an idea that Tempest had in mind for some years. He had half of the verse already made-up in his head for while, so he decided to try it out this time. So, few weeks before final rehearsal, he was at his parents house and there he wrote second part of the verse. After that he presented it to band and producer and they all loved it because it was different. Lyrically, song it's a sequel to the song The Final Countdown (1986). Band co-wrote it with a Cobb's friend Aaron from Nashville and they all explored what happened to the people who left the ground in 1986 and headed for Venus. "Wolves" is a political song about a whistleblower who had to move away with his family because he told the truth about something wolves were hounding him in a situation where nobody trusts anybody. Intro of the song was done with an old recording technique on old tape recorder and it's also different on vocal range and the arrangements. Tempest originally had in mind for a band to do a concept album, but after a while he realised that Europe is a rock band after all, so he and the band decided to have every song unfold in the studio and that they wrote together. Joey originally wanted to do some research, so he met a college professor to learn from him about how democracy as we see it today came to be, where and how and when it happened at different points of time. It ended up with just some research and few song touched upon it, "The Siege", "Kingdom United" and "Election Day". Song "The Siege" is a about the part of French Revolution when Napoleon started to defeat the aristocrats and when democracy started in France. "Kingdom United" is a song about period when Magna Carta was formed, written and signed and when democracy started in United Kingdom. "Election Day" is a observation song about simultaneous elections that were going on in United States and England. Chris Difford, from band Squeeze helped Tempest to co-write the lyrics on "Election Day" and "Kingdom United". Song "Turn to Dust" musically originates from Mic Michaeli's idea. Band tried to work it out for every album, but this time Joey pushed the band to finish the song. Title of the song is also Michaeli's idea. Lyrically, the song is warning for the people to not waste their time. Joey explained:"I may have forgotten to send those letters and say those words to people I know, but there's still a chance to do it. It was a great ending to the album". "Walk the Earth" is a positive rebirth song.
