Bassist Pär Sundström commented:
“We can finally announce that our 11th studio album, ‘Legends’, is coming out on October 17th! 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.
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 color, 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!”
Singer Joakim Brodén added:
“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. Apart from the usual suspects, there are multiple cool editions available, and we have a bunch of cool vinyls, each corresponding to a legend.
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!”
