Story of Sabaton

Hailing from Falun, Sweden, Sabaton emerged onto the power metal scene in 1999. Founded by vocalist Joakim Brodén, bassist Pär Sundström, guitarists Oskar Montelius and Rikard Sundén, and drummer Richard Larsson, the band has undergone several lineup changes, with only Brodén and Sundström remaining constants. Their signature sound is built on anthemic power metal, overwhelmingly dedicated to recounting historical events, particularly the details of major wars and battles.

Initially signed to Black Lodge Records, Sabaton unleashed their debut album, Primo Victoria, in 2005. This was quickly followed by Attero Dominatus (2006) and Metalizer (2007). Their fourth album, The Art of War (2008), cemented their growing reputation. A move to Nuclear Blast Records in 2010 saw the release of Coat of Arms, followed by Carolus Rex (2012) and Heroes (2014), establishing Sabaton as power metal titans with a unique and highly successful thematic approach.
