Author Benedetta Baldin - 17.10.2025

Coming off the announcement of a massive 2025 worldwide tour including a 31-date North American run set for early 2026, Sabaton today (17th October) release their much-anticipated new studio album “Legends” via Better Noise Music, marking the band’s label debut. It features the latest single and accompanying video, ‘I, Emperor‘, based on the complex and controversial Napoleon Bonaparte, by the #1 Global Power Metal Band and one of Sweden’s most successful bands.

Listen to ‘I, Emperor’ HERE and watch the boardgamer meets Napoleon-themed video HERE.

Throughout the album, Sabaton—Joakim Brodén (vocals), Pär Sundström (bass), Chris Rörland (guitar), Thobbe Englund (guitar), Hannes Van Dahl (drums)—delve into some of history’s greatest and most loved characters such as Jeanne D’arc (also known as Joan of Arc), Hannibal, Genghis Khan, Vlad the Impaler, Julius Caesar, the Knights Templar, and the legendary swordmaster Miyamoto Musashi.

This 11th studio album marks a bold evolution in the band’s sound and storytelling, plunging headfirst into the heart of history’s most formidable and enigmatic figures. These are not just rock songs; they are battle hymns carved from the blood and legacy of warriors, kings, strategists and revolutionaries.
