Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
The Swedish masters of heavy metal Sabaton have expanded their acclaimed eleventh full-length album, “Legends”, with a brand new recharged Deluxe Edition out 5th March 2027 via Better Noise Music.
To crank up anticipation for its arrival, the group just dropped a new single and lyric video for ‘Berserker‘. Listen to the song here and watch the lyric video here.
‘Berserker‘ nods to the group’s deep Scandinavian roots, lineage, and history. It channels the spirit of classic lore re-ignited with thunderous heavy metal. The single started to take shape a few years back, yet Sabaton opted to carefully perfect it and unleash it at the right moment – now. Powered up by cloud-shaking guitars and soaring vocals, it spins a myth all its own that’s as raw, riveting, and rapturous as the band’s best material.
It hits with the force of a Viking fleet and leaves an undeniable mark straight out of the gate.
The official video for ‘Berserker‘, featuring actor Eric Roberts, will arrive on Monday 9th November at 2pm GMT.
The animated visual serves as the perfect accompaniment for ‘Berserker‘. It revisits the legend of the Berserker at Stamford Bridge, co-mingling two realities of the present and the memory. Continuing what has become a tradition of blockbuster-worthy visuals, you need to see it to believe it. All hail Sabaton!
About the song, bassist Pär Sundström said:
“’Berserker’ breathes Scandinavian influences, so the Viking theme came naturally. It’s close to our own roots and our own history, and that gave the song a special meaning for us.”
The news of the deluxe edition arrives as the band embarks on its first U.S. tour in four years. Legends (Deluxe) will be available on streaming, download and various physical formats:
