Extreme Announce Live Album 'Paris Rising' Following Chart Success

Multi-platinum hard rock mainstays EXTREME have officially announced 'Paris Rising', a live album documenting their performances during the 'Six' world tour. Captured on 7 December 2023 at the historic Salle Pleyel in Paris, the release provides a sprawling 100-minute journey through the band's expansive career.

The tracklist features a medley of their 1989 debut followed by seven tracks from 'Six', including 'Rise' and 'Banshee'. Fans can expect staples like 'More Than Words' and 'Decadence Dance', alongside Nuno Bettencourt's solo 'Flight Of The Wounded Bumblebee'. The album serves as a celebration of their longevity, following the success of 'Six', which landed in the Top 10 across Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, and peaked at No. 2 on both the Billboard Top Hard Rock and UK Rock and Metal charts.

When it comes to Paris, for over 40 years, it has always been a second home to us.

Guitarist Nuno Bettencourt highlighted the significance of the location, stating that Paris has been a 'second home' for over 40 years with one of the world's best audiences. The band's current era has seen significant critical acclaim, with 'Rise' earning nods from guitar legends like Brian May and being ranked by Total Guitar as one of the greatest solos of the 21st century. The first single, 'Get The Funk Out', originally from the double-platinum 'Pornograffitti', now has a visual accompaniment. 'Paris Rising' arrives on 5 February via earMUSIC.
