For more than 25 years, Sabaton have stood at the intersection of history and heavy metal, transforming real-life legends and battles into stadium-shaking anthems. Legends continues that mission, immortalizing figures like Joan of Arc, Napoleon, Julius Caesar, and Japan’s master swordsman Miyamoto Musashi through songs that capture both the grandeur and mettle of their stories.

This time, every member of the band took part in crafting the record, both musically and conceptually, resulting in one of Sabaton’s most unified and ambitious efforts to date. The album reflects a shared vision that’s as bold as their subject matter, marrying powerful riffs with Joakim Brodén’s unmistakable voice to deliver the kind of cinematic storytelling that's defined the band’s legacy.

From their early days in the Swedish city of Falun to commanding festival stages around the world, Sabaton have earned their place among metal’s elite. Their catalog of ten acclaimed studio albums includes multiple platinum-sellers and a stack of awards, not to mention the creation of their own festival and cruise, further proof of their unmatched connection to fans.

Live, they remain an unstoppable force. With a full-sized tank on stage, thunderous pyrotechnics, and a contagious sense of humor, Sabaton’s shows have become legendary across continents, from Europe to North America, Japan, and Australia.

As Kerrang! put it, “There’s no subtlety; this big-chested music just wants you to bang your head and raise your horns.” Blabbermouth adds, “The two singles that have been released in advance, ‘Templars’ and ‘Hordes of Khan,’ are among the strongest that Sabaton have ever released.”
