To celebrate the album's success, and to commemorate the Swedish king who inspired it, SABATON will release a special 300th-anniversary edition of "Carolus Rex" on November 30, which is the date Carolus Rex was killed in Norway. In an amazing coincidence, the album's quadruple platinum certification came exactly 300 years after the king's death in 1718. The concept effort - which is the group's biggest success to date - charts the rise and fall of the Swedish Empire, in particular the life of Charles XII ( "Carolus Rex") who ruled it for 21 years. SABATON's 2012 album, "Carolus Rex", was recently certified quadruple platinum in the band's home country of Sweden. It's kind of important to us that the music and lyrics fit well together." SABATON's next disc will be the group's first with guitarist Tommy Johansson ( GOLDEN RESURRECTION, REINXEED), who replaced Thobbe Englund in 2016. To highlight the variety that slowly becomes apparent, I have. And this is a good thing because it is clear that ‘The War To End All Wars’ is an album designed to be listened to as a complete body of work rather than a record to be dipped in and out of. And you can't really sing about futuristic warfare if the songs sound old. There is a good ebb and flow to the album that keeps me listening from start to finish. We see what language, what kind of message is the music bringing.
New sabaton album 2019 full#
This ninth full length record, that will see the light of day right in time for the band's 20th anniversary, will be a concept album named 'The Great War' covering stories from the First World War. So, I'm not trying to be secretive - we have probably 20 or 30 ideas that we're always working with, but at the end, we don't really decide until we have half of the songs written. Today, Swedish heavy metal heroes SABATON reveal the title and artwork of their new studio album that will be released in summer 2019. I mean, we've done that in the past and we said what we were planning to do, and then we changed our minds at the last minute and people were disappointed. The trick is we never know what we're gonna use. But, yeah, we're not gonna be a band who releases an album every eight years." Asked if SABATON already has some ideas for a possible concept for the next studio album, Brodén said: "We have a lot of concept ideas, actually. Now, since we are playing in Australia, North and South America and Asia as well, it, unfortunately, delays it a bit. Before, we didn't play so much in South America and in North America and also Asia, so back in those days, we were done with the touring in time to do an album every two years. We're not gonna get old and start taking eight years between albums." Regarding the longer-than-usual wait for a new SABATON record, Joakim said: "The thing is, tour has taken us almost everywhere. "But, of course, next year there will be an album. "Obviously, we're gonna start making that album - well, we already started, actually, songwriting songwriting never stops for us," he told Greece's "TV War" in a new interview (see video below). SABATON singer Joakim Brodén has confirmed that the band is planning to release the follow-up to 2016's "The Last Stand" LP in 2019.
