\u201cLegends\u201d is more than an album. It\u2019s the sound of our shared passion brought to life. A rock odyssey that transcends time and borders, our new creation is packed with melodic guitar riffs, epic choirs and massive choruses.<\/p>\n
It marks a bold evolution in our storytelling as a band, as we plunge headfirst into the heart of some of history\u2019s most formidable and enigmatic figures, including the Knights Templar, Genghis Khan, L\u00fc Bu, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Joan of Arc, Vlad The Impaler, Hannibal, Miyamoto Musashi, Senusret III and Gustavus Adolphus.<\/p>\n

To celebrate this huge news, we\u2019re shining the spotlight on our anthemic new single \u201cI, Emperor\u201d, and will be launching a brand-new music video on YouTube at 8AM PT \/ 11AM ET \/ 5PM CEST. You can listen to the song here<\/a> and watch the music video here<\/a> once it drops.<\/p>\n \u201cI, Emperor\u201d was written about the one and only Napoleon, who rose to fame during the French Revolution and became a hero after his Italian campaign. He took power as First Consul, then crowned himself Emperor. Known for his brilliant military tactics, he beat major European powers in battles like Austerlitz and Rivoli. He also reformed laws with the Napoleonic Code, but his ambition caught up with him after a failed invasion of Russia and defeat at Waterloo, and he was exiled.<\/p>\n Joakim comments: \u201cEpic battles, bold moves and a rise from nothing to emperor. Napoleon is straight up legendary and his story is basically built for a Sabaton song. Plus, this one was greatly \u2013 and I mean greatly \u2013 requested by fans. So here it is\u2026 you asked, we delivered!\u201d<\/p>\n P\u00e4r adds: \u201cI was excited about \u2018I, Emperor,\u2019 because I\u2019ve seen countless requests for us to write a song about Napoleon, which is usually a sign that fans will get excited about a song. This one\u2019s got that anthem energy, and we\u2019ve got a feeling it\u2019s gonna be a fan favorite.\u201d He adds: \u201cIt\u2019s punchy, powerful and seriously catchy, that\u2019s something we all felt when Joakim was singing along to the music during the filming of the video for the song. I can\u2019t wait to hear what everyone thinks. I\u2019m curious to see if fans think this one should make it into the setlist for future shows!\u201d<\/p>\n The music video for our new single is a nod to one of P\u00e4r\u2019s favourite childhood hobbies, board games. We wanted to create a historical board game replay of the Battle of Waterloo, with the twist being that we are the ones deciding the fate of the battle without being aware of it. Joakim takes on the role of the French, while P\u00e4r and Chris represent the British, and Hannes and Thobbe represent the Prussians.<\/p>\n GET YOUR PHYSICAL COPY OF \u201cLEGENDS\u201d!<\/p>\n We wanted to make \u201cLegends\u201d available in multiple formats<\/a>\u00a0 giving every fan the freedom to choose their preferred way to experience it.<\/p>\n The album is available as a digital download, as well as in various physical formats and retailer exclusives including CD, 2 CD digibook, 2 CD earbook (both including the exclusive Storyteller Edition), 11 unique vinyl editions (including a special vinyl colour and exclusive artwork each), additional exclusive vinyl colours, and a limited box set (including another exclusive vinyl colour, the 2 CD earbook, and a colored cassette as an exclusive format).<\/p>\n As we\u2019re not only celebrating an album launch but a single launch also, we want to share the Napoleon Bonaparte Edition of \u201cLegends\u201d on vinyl<\/a> with you.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/new-article-physicals-mockup-email-new.png\")
