Sabaton - Re-Sign With Nuclear Blast, Announce 'Livgardet' Single


Power metal titans Sabaton enter a new partnership with Nuclear Blast Records, re-signing with their longtime label home for a new single and much more to come. "Livgardet", the band's first new music since 2019's The Great War album, will arrive on February 26th. The Swedish-language song honors the Swedish Royal Guards first established in the year 1521.

"It feels good to continue our collaboration with the world's biggest heavy metal label, Nuclear Blast," said Sabaton bassist and co-founder Pär Sundström, who also serves as the band's manager. "We have been working with Nuclear Blast for more than a decade, and at the end of last year, we signed the contract for the upcoming releases, and we will continue to write metal history together."




"Since 2012 and Carolus Rex, we have been looking forward to writing more songs in Swedish, and we felt that we were not done with the history of our fatherland," Sundström explained. "Over the past years, we have been discussing around topics until something obvious came up. One of the oldest military regiments in the world, the Swedish Royal Guard (Livgardet), was formed in the Sabaton home region in Sweden, Dalecarlia, in 1521 by the legendary Swedish king Gustav Vasa. For the past 500 years, they have evolved with the times and served under various kings and queens around the world and are still active today. We felt that such an anniversary would be worth a song, and we aimed at writing a respectful tribute, an anthem for this Swedish regiment and its legacy. The rich 500 years of history is, needless to say, extremely hard to fit into one song, and that is why we mainly focused on the parts and battles that happened during the age of the Swedish Empire. We aimed to write a respectful tribute, a powerful anthem, for this Swedish regiment and its remarkable legacy."

Dalecarlia LOL , who use such name, its Dalarna anyway.

This band is good, they can piss todays swedes what are shamed about history. I am proud Sweden was empire long ago and was not afraid fight wars around word and conquered. Christianity never really worked , reformation in Europe. Nevermind. Today we have Särskilda Operationsgruppen or SOG , special military's group what is secret and do missions arounmd the world and they are secret, works under Militära underrättelse- och säkerhetstjänsten (MUST). Swedish Military Intelligence and Security Service
I wish Säpå aka Swedish Security Service had more power and police more power.
Anyway I am happy that they bring Swedish history alive . Coold even maybe not my fav PM band, but I can deal whit them.
