“We always want to make albums that are better than the last one. The album title, to me, represents many things about Treat in this day and age, including the sincerity and history of the band. But also the fight to survive as a band like brothers in arms, through all these years of highs and lows, tears and laughter. Seriously, we grew up together in the ’80s, learning how to make our brand of Melodic Hard Rock by heart and we still continue to work that hard even today. We’re as close as a family and we’re blessed to still be able to get in the ring and be on top of our game,” says guitarist Anders Wikstrom. Fora band that’s been going for nearly four decades, inspiration and the drive to createfresh material still propels Treat.

“Well, for me, it always starts with the song, and that exciting feeling which leads to the next one,and so on. As a longtime songwriter,I trust my gut instinct, but I know the material will take new and better shape when the rest of the guys get in the creative loop, and remember, deep down we’re still kids and fans of great rock music and we still get excited when a cool idea turns into a great song,” says Wikstrom.”We were focused on making the best possible Treat effort, and all of us decided, early on, to make this a positive and uplifting record to be proud of intheyears to come.I guess we found the working process to be our sane and safe haven in the midst ofthis newdaily life none of us could have predictedwould happen,” he continues. “We started the basic track recordings in AtlantisStudios in Stockholm in November 2020,moved on to BaggpipeStudios and Peter Manssons MirStudios in the spring/summer of 2021 forlead vocals and overdubs,then finished mixing in MirStudios in Stockholm in October 2021.

Most of us have our own studios at home, where we do additional tracking,but to get the sound we wanted for”The Endgame”, we did take our time to find the right recording rooms and studio facilities, and the result speaks for itself!””Peter[Mansson]is one of the bestrock producers I know, and also a longtime friend.He knows us inside out, pros and cons, and will always give anarm and a leg to make our vision come true.His contribution to this album asproducer,recordingand mixing engineer is outstanding. Hes also an excellent musician and he’s becomealmost like a sixth member of the gang, a fantastic guy and we love him,” adds Wikstrom.”We really hope our fans will love this album as much we dobecausewe made it for YOU!” he concludes.
