Friends, the wait is finally over…
It’s been a long time in the making, but we’re excited to finally announce that our 11th studio album, “LEGENDS”, drops on October 17th!
Pre-orders are now open for “LEGENDS” and we can’t wait for you to hear this next chapter in the Sabaton story. Trust us, you’ll want to play this album loud!
“LEGENDS” will be available in various physical formats and retailer exclusives including CD; a 2 CD digibook and 2 CD earbook (both including the exclusive Storyteller Edition); 11 unique vinyl editions in total (including a special vinyl colour and exclusive artwork each); additional exclusive vinyl colours; and a limited box set (including another exclusive vinyl colour, the 2 CD earbook and a coloured cassette). If you’re a collector of all things Sabaton, act fast and secure yours now!
A lot of the stories that have captivated us over the years and that you’ve requested have found their way onto this album. With “LEGENDS”, we step beyond the battlefield of modern military history and travel way, way into the past. Across 11 powerful tracks, we bring to life some of history’s most legendary figures – from the fearless Joan of Arc and the unstoppable Napoleon Bonaparte, to the cunning Julius Caesar and the legendary swordmaster, Miyamoto Musashi. These are the tales that have shaped the world, told loud and proud!
Track listing for “LEGENDS”:
Joakim comments on the album: “Legends have always been woven into our music, and the “Heroes” album is the perfect example of that! I’m incredibly proud of “Heroes”and everything it stands for, so “Legends” is just a natural next step. It’s like the story continues but goes way back in time. We’re excited to finally be taking our listeners on a new journey! Here’s to another chapter in Sabaton’s story!”
Meanwhile, Pär says: “11 tracks that cover 11 iconic legendary stories. This time we look further back in history than we have been the past few years, going to times that I think are very exciting. As someone who’s always been into the history of the Middle Ages, knights and the legends of old, it felt incredible to finally bring those stories into the Sabaton universe.”
But we can’t just drop this bombshell without giving you something special to enjoy in the run-up to the album’s release… In celebration of this massive news, we’ve dropped not one, but TWO new songs today, which are now available on your favourite music streaming services and are accompanied by lyric videos.
