Joakim Brodén reveals we’ll have new Sabaton music “within the next couple of months”

In a new interview with This Day In Metal, Sabaton leader Joakim Brodén reveals new details about the upcoming album of the Swedish group. As transcribed by us, he stated:

We’re working on new music already. Pretty far along as well. It’s too early to give any details as of now, but yeah, we will have great news regarding that within the next couple of months. We just have to figure out when we can finish up recordings and sort out when we can start touring and plan all that, because these days you have to book things so, so long in advance. But we are looking at doing, well, we already announced Latin America next spring, so I doubt we can be able to do anything before that. But after next spring, we’re looking at both getting out albums and hopefully… can make any promises. I shouldn’t make promises I can’t guarantee, but after that, Europe, back to United States and Canada, I hope, for sure. So for proper headlining, because we’ve been doing a bit supporting here now, which is awesome, but the last time we headlined here was ’22. So it would be good to come back in ’25 or ’26 to do some proper headlining.

He also stated that, for the moment, he has no intention of starting a solo project.

No, not whatsoever. I feel panic almost thinking about it. Writing songs for Sabaton keeps me more than enough busy. I haven’t written all of them, but I’ve been writing well over 90 per cent of them alone or with someone else from the band or an external person. Actually, I think there’s only two or three I haven’t written music for, and I’m involved in most of the lyrics as well. And luckily enough, many times when I’ve written something that I thought, this is not for Sabaton, but I’ve written it anyway, and then somebody from the band heard it, it’s like, “Oh, that’s a great song. We should do that.” And that happened with the song The Final Solution, which is not really a super metal song. I mean, obviously, at that point, it wasn’t about the Holocaust. The lyrics wasn’t there, but the song is more of a, yeah, I don’t know how to describe it. It’s more like something Rainbow would release rather than, or Blackmore’s Night even, rather than a rock band. Same with the song Ballad of Bull from Heroes was also a song that I thought that’s not for Sabaton at all. I just wrote it because I wanted to. So, I mean, if I write something different, sometimes I do that because it’s fun and I learn a lot by doing different things. But half of those songs go into Sabaton anyway. So if I were to make a solo album, it’ll take me 20 years.
