ALIEN from Sweden, that's Jim Jidhed (v), Tony Borg (g) und Toby Tarrach (d) today, and they still know their stuff. Not only the artwork is reminiscent of their legenday selftitled debut from 1988 but also musically, despite some rather modern elements on their last effort, this time luckily the band fully concentrates on their undisputable strength, which would be magnificient melodies and charismatic vocals for instance. Their signature sound, a distinctive blend of melodic hard rock and AOR, has earned them a place among Sweden’s most enduring and beloved rock acts. The JOURNEY-like ballad "I Remember" or rockers like "If Love Is War" or "Aiming High" fully convince, too. Amazing! (MS)

Alien is a Swedish rock band that has been a cornerstone of the hard rock scene since 1986, known for their melodic hooks, powerful guitar riffs, and the unmistakable voice of Jim Jidhed. Formed in Gothenburg, Sweden, the band quickly gained recognition both domestically and internationally, building a legacy of powerful albums and unforgettable live shows.

Alien’s self-titled debut album, released in 1988, introduced their melodic hard rock style to the world establishing Alien as one of the standout bands of the late 80s hard rock scene. "Only One Woman," one of Alien’s most iconic songs which currently has almost 6 million streams on Spotify alone, became a massive hit and achieved gold certification in Sweden and dominated Swedish radio charts. The song also performed well internationally, receiving heavy rotation on radio stations in Europe, the US and Japan pushing the band higher into the global spotlight.
Since then, the band has released several albums, the most recent one, ”Into the future” in 2020, which acclaimed positive reviews for its modern approach to the band’s established style, while still staying true to their melodic rock roots.
2025 marks a comeback with a brand new album coming out. With their new album ”When Yesterday Comes Around” the band takes you back to a glorious time, but with a modern sound.

Alien will also play at Sweden Rock Festival on the 4th of June and will also embark on an South American tour in the fall.

With a career spanning over three decades, the band continues to evolve and remain a vital force in rock music and the music continues to resonate with fans old and new. With a loyal fan base, a history of chart-topping hits and a reputation for delivering high-quality performances the band continues to tour worldwide and perform at major festivals and clubs. Their signature sound, a distinctive blend of melodic hard rock and AOR, has earned them a place among Sweden’s most enduring and beloved rock acts.
