Origin Sweden
Genre(s) Power metal


Sabaton was formed in 1999. After the first songs were recorded in the Abyss studio, Sabaton was contacted by a couple of record labels. The band decided to sign up for an Italian label who released the promo-CD Fist for Fight - including a cover artwork by the legendary Ken Kelly (Manowar)- internationally with the intention to promote forthcoming releases.

A year after the first recordings were made Sabaton returned with a debut album Metalizer, again working with Tommy Tägtgren.

Sabaton performed across Sweden, and after two years of waiting for the label to release Metalizer, Sabaton decided to record another album. But this time they would do it on their own, without the financial support of a record label.

The band returned a third album titled Primo Victoria and found themselves in negotiations with several international record labels. They eventually signed with the metal division of Sound Pollution, called Black Lodge.

Their fourth album is entitled Attero Dominatus, which continues the war theme of Primo Victoria with songs like "Back in Control" (which focuses on the British attack to reclaim the Falklands Islands during the Falklands War), "Attero Dominatus" (the Russian attack on Berlin which brought about the end of WWII in Europe) or "Angels Calling" (which is a generic song about trench warfare during World War I), and was released in Europe on the 28th of July 2006.

Sabaton has also re-released their first album, Metalizer, a double disk special which contains the whole of their original album Fist For Fight remastered on the second disk, as well as a new song, Birds of War. It was released in March 2007.

As a follow up to Metalizer, in May 2008, Sabaton released "The Art of War." An album inspired by the influential book by Sun Tzu. The album contains the singles "Cliffs of Gallipoli" and "Ghost Division". The album has received extremely positive reviews so far.

In September 2008 it was announced that Sabaton will be performing at the 2009 ProgPowerUSA X festival in Atlanta GA USA. In addition, Sabaton were the first band confirmed for the festival Bloodstock '09 in Derby, UK. And furthermore, they will be touring Europe again in 2009 as guestband on the Hammerfall Tour.

The band has recently had their biggest succes yet following the release of their latest album, The Art Of War.

Лично мнение 10/10

Велика група,страхотни песни просто са върха

Да добър пауър са!Имат готини песни с добри текстове и най-важното е,че са добри на лаифове!Най ме кефи Primo Victoria - страшна песен!

Мдам Аз обикновенно като в темата слагам клипве,слагам любимите си от групата Primo Victoria е просто невероятна песен

Честно казано за мен са one-shot band . Primo Victoria е толкова яка песен, че останлите им , които съм слушал (не са много мда) някак си ми се губят. Но Примо е .... безобразно велика песен Тази песен трябва да я слушам вързан, у дома, защото съм способен на безобразия

това е от тези банди дето колкото повече ги слушам толкова повече ми харесват

11/10 ffs !

Е заслужихме си го На малко концерти съм бил, където публиката да е толкова екзалтирана, да не говорим, че дори не бяха "хедлайнери" (разбира се това е относително понятие, за страна където хората отиват на концерт на Мерлин Менсън за да чуят Тайп О Негатив).
Изкъртихме залата с викове и тропане

Quote от интервю

Q:Планирате ли нов албум и кога можем да го очакваме?

A: Йоаким: Планът е да го запишем някъде към ноември, така че най-вероятно ще се появи през пролетта на 2010. Вече имаме няколко готови парчета даже. Ще е забавно отново.
