SABATON – the #1 Global Power Metal Band and one of Sweden’s most successful bands – is ready to ignite a new era with the highly anticipated release of their 11th studio album, LEGENDS. It arrives October 17 via Better Noise Music and marks the band’s label debut.
Throughout the aptly titled LEGENDS, which blends rock and history for fans of all ages, SABATON – Joakim Brodén (vocals), Pär Sundström (bass), Chris Rörland (guitar), Thobbe Englund (guitar), Hannes Van Dahl (drums)—delve into some of history’s greatest and most loved characters such as Jeanne D’arc (also known as Joan of Arc), Napoleon Bonaparte, Julius Caesar, and the legendary swordmaster Miyamoto Musashi.
As a special celebratory gift to their legions of loyal fans around the world, SABATON – to coincide with the long-awaited announcement of their new album – is releasing not one, but two brand new songs from LEGENDS, available today (July 25) on all digital outlets.
Lightning at the Gates (Hannibal) and The Duelist (Miyamoto Musashi) are both out now, with the premiere for Lightning At The Gates below. LEGENDS is a rock odyssey that transcends time and borders, with melodic guitar riffs, goosebump-inducing choirs, and epic choruses. It marks a bold evolution in storytelling, plunging headfirst into the heart of history’s most formidable and enigmatic figures. These are not just rock songs, they are battle hymns carved from the blood and legacy of warriors, kings, strategists, and revolutionaries.
It marks the very first time that every band member has come together to contribute to the songwriting process. This is SABATON as you’ve never heard them before – relentless and unbound. LEGENDS is a global journey through the annals of warfare, leadership and unbreakable will.
