Bio:
Sabaton [ˈsabaˌton] is a power metal band from Falun, Sweden formed in 1999. The band's main lyrical themes are based on war and historical battles. This is heard in the albums Primo Victoria, Attero Dominatus and Coat of Arms where all of the songs contain these motifs, except final tracks which are heavy metal tribute songs. Lyrical content drawn from World War I, World War II and other conflicts is prevalent and includes songs about battles and leaders on all sides of said conflicts.In April 2012 four members left the band and formed another, whilst vocalist Joakim Brodén and bassist Pär Sundström continued with new members. As well as extensively touring internationally the band have a festival in their home town of Falun, Sabaton Open Air, in August and an annual cruise, 'Sabaton Cruise', in November.
Album:
Celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Last Stand with this special CD+DVD Digibook Edition. For the very first time, every bonus track is included in one definitive collection, featuring songs that have never before been available worldwide. Alongside the bonus tracks, the DVD features exclusive live performances recorded at Sabaton Open Air 2016, capturing Thobbe Englund’s final show with Sabaton before he stepped away for an eight-year hiatus – making it, in many ways, his own “Last Stand”. A must-have edition for collectors and longtime fans alike.The Last Stand is eighth studio album by Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton.It was produced by Peter Tägtgren in Abyss Studios.Like Sabaton's previous album Heroes, The Last Stand will be a concept album and takes inspiration from famous defensive "last stand" battles. On June 10th 2016 the first single The Lost Battalion was released, followed by Blood of Bannockburn on July the 15th and Shiroyama on August the 12th.“We have done a majestic record and we couldn't be happier with it. Is »The Last Stand« SABATON's strongest album to date? Well, time will tell us that, but one thing is 100 % guaranteed: on the record, there are lots of songs that will go down in SABATON's own hall of fame,ˮ says the band founder and bassist Pär Sundström.“»The Last Stand« contains all the elements that our fans could ask for,ˮ adds the band's main composer and singer Joakim Brodén. “The new record tells a victorious tale of SABATON in 2016, and even further. Lots of fresh ideas and unprecedented magic can be heard on these new tunes - for example, check out bagpipe and Hammond driven major key song 'Blood Of Bannockburn'. We have never done anything like that before.ˮIf the previous record, straightforward heavy metal assault »Heroes«, showed the unstoppable power of SABATON's eloquent line-up, huge-sounding »The Last Stand« conquers whole new kingdoms. The band's apparent sixth member, HYPOCRISY / PAIN mastermind and renowned producer Peter Tägtgren (LINDEMANN, DIMMU BORGIR, CHILDREN OF BODOM among others), grasped everything out of Brodén, Sundström, drummer Hannes Van Dahl and guitarists Thobbe Englund and Chris Rörland. The result? Innovative guitar solos and razorsharp riffs, pounding drum patters, catchier than catchy choruses and haunting melodies - and the list goes on... Well, let's put it this way: if SABATON used to sound intense, bombastic and invincible, this time they sound absurdly intense, bombastic and invincible.
