Founded in 1999 in Falun, Sweden, five-piece heavy metal band, Sabaton, are known the world-over for their ability to bring harrowing stories from the past to life with their anthemic, high-energy heavy metal.
The band currently has 11 studio albums in circulation, including Legends (2025), The War To End All Wars (2022),The Great War (2019), The Last Stand (2016), Heroes (2014), Carolus Rex (2012), Coat Of Arms (2010), The Art Of War (2008), Metalizer (2007), Attero Dominatus (2006) and Primo Victoria (2005) - alongside a number of EPs.
Released on October 17, 2025 via Better Noise Music, Sabaton’s new, full length studio album, Legends ushers in a new era for the band, going further back in history than ever before and marking a distinct change in direction from their recent focus on World War 1 and World War 2.
In March 2026, the band surprised fans with their new single, Yamato, accompanied by a music video created in partnership with World of Warships.
Sabaton are well known for their relentless dedication to touring, having embarked on massive headline tours across Europe - including multiple sold-out runs in their homeland - along with the Americas, Australia and New Zealand with big names such as Babymetal, Lordi, U.D.O., Epica, Amaranthe, plus many others. The band also proudly hosts their own Sabaton-branded events (Sabaton Open Air - currently on hiatus - and the Sabaton Cruise).
At the end of 2025, Sabaton completed The Legendary Tour 2025 in Europe with The Legendary Orchestra - a project developed by the band. In February 2026, the band kicked off their Legends On Tour North America run, with 25 dates across the USA and 7 in Canada.
PROJECTS AND ACCOLADES
Sabaton’s journey goes far beyond albums and live shows. In 2019, the band launched the Sabaton History Channel on YouTube, a project born from their deep passion for history.
Alongside the numerous musical accolades over the years, Sabaton were honoured in April 2023 with the prestigious Enlightener of the Year Award 2022 from the Swedish Skeptics Association, becoming the first rock band ever to receive the award. Established in 1987, the accolade is traditionally reserved for academics, authors, journalists and media outlets who go above and beyond to educate the public.
br> An unprecedented global museum project entitled History Rocks was launched by Sabaton on June 12, 2023. At the centre of this project stood the band’s animated film, The War To End All Wars - The Movie. Over 140 museums spanning 30 territories around the world participated in the event in the two weeks surrounding the 105th anniversary of Armistice Day (November 11, 2023). History Rocks was launched as a charity initiative to raise awareness of the importance of history and encourage more people to visit and support their local museums. Following post-event demand, the film was later released on major video streaming services including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and YouTube on May 11, 2025, for it to reach a wider audience.
Rewinding back to October 2024, Sabaton celebrated the global premiere of their concert film entitled Sabaton – The Tour To End All Tours, which was filmed at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam the year prior. Over 1,200 cinemas in 28 countries screened the concert film, which was also later released on streaming services in February 2026.
