Swedish metal titans Sabaton are marching into a new chapter with Legends, their eleventh studio album and first release under Better Noise Music, out now. Known for their bombastic blend of power metal and historical storytelling, the band promises a record that dives deep into the lives of history’s most remarkable figures, from Joan of Arc and Napoleon to Julius Caesar and Japan’s legendary samurai, Miyamoto Musashi.

To mark the occasion, Sabaton have released two blistering new singles: “The Duelist” and “Lightning at the Gates.” These tracks follow the earlier drops of “Templars” and “Hordes of Khan,” each showcasing the band’s signature mix of thunderous riffs, cinematic production, and triumphant choruses. As frontman Joakim Brodén’s vocals soar over relentless drums and choral harmonies, Legends cements Sabaton’s reputation for transforming history into an electrifying metal saga.

Among its unique offerings, Legends will be available in multiple formats—including CD, 2 CD digibook and earbook (each with the exclusive Storyteller Edition), 11 unique vinyl editions themed around historical icons, a colored cassette, and a limited-edition box set. The “Hannibal Edition” and “Miyamoto Musashi Edition” correspond with today’s new singles, giving fans a collectible experience that ties each song to its own mythic persona.

This project marks a milestone for Sabaton: the first time all band members collaborated on the songwriting process. Recorded once again with longtime producer Jonas Kjellgren at Sweden’s Black Lounge Studios and featuring artwork by Peter Sallai, Legends pushes the boundaries of Sabaton’s sound while staying true to the anthemic metal storytelling that made them global icons.

By intertwining melody, might, and meticulous research—bolstered by their Sabaton History Channel collaborations—the band continues to bridge past and present through heavy music that honors those who shaped the world. As Sabaton put it, Legends isn’t just an album; it’s a chronicle of courage, legacy, and defiance set to roaring guitars and soaring choirs.
