tAKiDA, one of Sweden’s most successful rock bands, are adding their most recent live album, Boxroom Tour – Live At Tonhallen In Sundsvall, to their physical repertoire. Originally released in digital format earlier this year, the live recordings will be out in several exclusive physical formats on November 28, 2025 via Napalm Records. Recorded in 2024, the album unleashes the electrifying energy of their live semi-acoustic performances across 19 powerful tracks – dubbed the Boxroom versions.
 
Together with the announcement, tAKiDA unveil the first glimpse of what to expect on the album. “Sacred Spell” (off their most recent studio album, The Agony Flame, 2024) encapsulates the intimate atmosphere of the recorded show – a captivating look into the softer, yet strikingly powerful reimaginations that make up Boxroom Tour – Live At Tonhallen In Sundsvall. Enriched by lush strings and warm horn arrangements, all accompanied by soaring melodies and powerful vocals, this record shows what made tAKiDA such a dominant force in rock.

Since forming in 1999 and breaking out with their debut album, tAKiDA has ruled the Swedish rock scene with six platinum singles (including one of them 4x platinum), three platinum albums, and five #1 albums. Their success has also crossed borders: their most recent studio album, The Agony Flame (2024), marked their highest German chart entry yet (#8), while its lead single “The Loneliest Hour” hit #1 on the German Rock Airplay Charts. Boxroom Tour – Live At Tonhallen In Sundsvall takes the audience on a journey through tAKiDA’s successful discography, from introspective “Jaded” (originally released on their first album …Make You Breathe, 2006) to hits like “Curly Sue” (from Bury The Lies, 2007), “Master” (from Sju, 2019), and “You Learn” (from The Burning Heart, 2011), all the way to deeply emotional “Feel You Falling Away” (from Falling From Fame, 2021). The unique atmosphere of the Boxroom versions, enhanced by strings and soft choir, enhances beloved songs in a never-before-heard way.
 
Boxroom Tour – Live At Tonhallen In Sundsvall brings a new side of tAKiDA to our living rooms. Intimate, gentle, and effortlessly captivating, the Swedish rockers showcase what took them to the top of their home country’s rock scene and onto international stages alike.

In 2023, tAKiDA embarked on their biggest tour so far, including arena shows in their home country and huge festival appearances – even conquering the main stage at Wacken Open Air. In 2025, the band will return to Germany for an extended summer tour, set to rock the stages in twelve cities!

Friday, February 9, tAKiDA, one of Sweden’s largest and most successful rock bands, finally revealed their massive ninth studio album and Napalm Records debut, The agony flame! To celebrate the release, the quintet have unveiled their brand-new fourth single, “On the line”. The track presents fast-paced melody and intense vocals – building a highly-infectious hymn alongside its official music video.

tAKiDA will soon kick off their 2024 “Smoke & Mirrors Tour”, including an extended run through several major cities in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Starting on April 2 in Offenbach, Germany, the band will be supported by the English band Those Damn Crows. Tickets are on sale now. 

Ever since their start in 1999 and breaking into the scene with their first studio album, Make You Breathe (2006), tAKiDA has become one of Sweden’s top-notch export, garnering mind-blowing success in their home country with six platinum singles (one of them 4x platinum), three platinum albums and five #1 albums. In 2023, tAKiDA’s recent singles, cut from the upcoming album The agony flame, have exceeded the already extremely well-accomplished band’s previous international radio chart success, with “The loneliest hour” hitting #1 on German Rock Airplay Charts, and “Third strike” added to daily rotation at Antyradio – Poland’s biggest and most important rock radio channel. In summer 2023, tAKiDA conquered the mainstage of the legendary Wacken Open Air, performing in front of twenty thousand people. With the release of The agony flame in 2024, tAKiDA will not only celebrate 25 years of band history, but surpass their current success without the shadow of a doubt.
 
tAKiDA on The agony flame:
“The agony flame is our “now or never”-album and you’re free to interpret that however you want. Hope you’ll like it.”

6. Nothing but a misplace
7. The loneliest hour
8. Sickening
9. Isolated (smoke & mirrors)
10.On the line
11.Second fiddle

The agony flame embodies the distinctive, unmistakable tAKiDA sound, rich with infectious, huge choruses. The band’s sound is a blend of the members’ individual influences rooted in the 80s. The lyrics often explore intense emotions – darkness, melancholy, and desperation – reflecting the uncertainties of current times. Despite the challenges, the band emphasizes the importance of dancing in the dark and finding hope. The agony flame embodies the distinctive, unmistakable tAKiDA sound, rich with infectious, huge choruses. On the new album, listeners get to witness some of singer Robert Pettersson’s strongest vocal performances to date. In trademark tAKiDA manner, songs like “Your blood awaits you”, “Third strike” and “On the line” are loaded with emotion and unlimited hit potential. 

More than two decades after the band’s formation, tAKiDA’s new offering makes it crystal clear that the unit’s pop-infused rock is still relevant today.

Swedish rockers tAKiDA have revealed a brand-new official music video for their recent single, “Third strike”, cut from the band’s upcoming Napalm Records debut The agony flame, set for release on February 9, 2024! The astonishing looking video captures Sweden’s snowy, freezing landscapes, underlined by frightening AI-created, impressionism-influenced faces, skeletons and creatures.

tAKiDA’s recent singles have exceeded the already extremely well-accomplished band’s previous   international radio chart success, with “The loneliest hour” hitting #1 on German Rock Airplay Charts,  and “Third strike” currently ranking at #4 on Antyradio’s Turbo Top Charts – Poland’s biggest and most important rock radio channel. This new video arrives on the heels of tAKiDA’s recent announcement of their 2024 “Smoke & Mirrors Tour”, including an extended run through several major cities in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Supported by the English band Those Damn Crows, the tour kicks off in Offenbach, Germany on April 2. Tickets are on sale now, so get your tickets while they last!

Watch the official music video for “Third strike” below, and make sure to pre-order your copy of The agony flame!

tAKiDA on “Third strike”:           
“’Third strike’ is about self-sabotage. The main character, however hard they try to be the person they want to be, to do good, to be successful, they will always lose the battle with the voices in their head.”

tAKiDA has six platinum singles (one of them 4x platinum), three platinum albums and five #1 albums under their belts, and their new material is surely expanding upon their previous successes. In 2023, tAKiDA embarked on their biggest tour so far, including arena shows in their home country and huge festival appearances – even conquering the main stage at Wacken Open Air. The agony flame is the successor to tAKiDA’s stunning 2021 album, Falling from fame, which garnered tAKiDA a solid international fanbase that will certainly continue growing with the new full-length.
