Sabaton are 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 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.
Pre orders are available HERE
As a special celebratory gift to their legions of loyal fans around the world, SABATON are releasing not one, but two brand new songs from Legends.

We can finally announce that our 11th studio album Legends is coming out on October 17th!” says bassist Pär Sundström.“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.
“Music collectors will be happy to hear that you are now able to pre-order our Legends album in all formats imaginable, including digital, CD, vinyl and a cassette tape that will be featured in a box set,” says singer Joakim Brodén. “Apart from the usual suspects, there are multiple cool editions available, and we have a bunch of cool vinyls, each corresponding to a legend.”
Bassist Pär Sundström continues, “We’re all about telling stories through our songs, so we thought, why not do the same with our vinyls? Instead of just making them a cool colour, we wanted them to actually tell a story too. That’s why we decided to name them after the legendary figures featured on the album. It just felt like the perfect way to make them more special. We hope all the physical music collectors out there love the concept! We took the idea from the community and tweaked it ourselves!”
