Takida, one of Sweden’s most successful current rock bands, have released new single 'The Loneliest Hour' via their new home Napalm Records. The track embodies the band's unmistakable sound and features one of Robert Pettersson’s strongest vocal performance to date.

The band comments: "'The Loneliest Hour' is about seeking the ultimate thrill, constantly being on the verge of losing one's footing, until eventually being unable to resist the obsessive thoughts. To become too greedy and seek something better, and in the end, one loses everything, over and over again.”
On their recent signing to Napalm: "Exciting times are just around the corner and we can’t wait to start working with Napalm Records. Let’s do this!"
Formed in 1999, Takida are at the top of the Swedish rock scene with six platinum singles (one of them 4x platinum), three platinum albums and no less than five #1 albums. Additionally, the band are regularly at the top of the international radio airplay charts - so there is no doubt that 'The Loneliest Hour' will be a future radio hit.
