Six is the sixth studio album by American hard rock band Extreme, released on June 9, 2023. This is the first studio since 2008's Saudades de Rock 15 years prior. In the lead-up for the album release, on March 1, 2023, Extreme released a video of "Rise" as a first single. The video crossed 1 million views in its first week, propelled by interest in the Nuno Bettencourt's guitar solo, which lead to a number of analysis videos, including a reaction by Justin Hawkins from The Darkness, and breakdown by Rick Beato. "Rise" was followed by a double A-side single released on April 19, featuring songs "#Rebel" and "Banshee". Each song was accompanied by a music video. The fourth and final song released prior to the album launch was "Other Side of the Rainbow", released May 31. In the month of the album's release, Nuno Bettencourt was featured in the cover of several guitar magazines, including Total Guitar, Japan's Young Guitar, the French edition of Rolling Stone, and Germany's Guitar.
