Dear friends,

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of our eighth studio album “The Last Stand”, we’re excited to reveal The Last Stand – 10th Anniversary Edition (limited), arriving on September 11, 2026, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Choose from 2 formats:

CD+DVD Digibook featuring exclusive live footage from Sabaton Open Air 2016 – Thobbe’s last stand before his 8 year hiatus.

2LP Gatefold Vinyl pressed on bloodstone marbled + spartan sunset splatter with a unique etching on side D.

Both of these limited editions feature exclusive alternative artwork, and for the first time ever, every bonus track is included in one definitive edition.

This special anniversary release is the ultimate way to revisit one of the most defining chapters in our history. Pre-order your copy now!

“Who would have believed that 10 years could fly by so fast?” says Pär. “We have so many great memories tied to “The Last Stand”, so we’re really happy to celebrate its 10th anniversary with the special edition vinyl and digibook with all the extras.”

Pär continues: “If you get your hands on the digibook, you’ll find bonus video footage that captures Thobbe – our guitarist – playing his final show with us at Sabaton Open Air in 2016 before stepping away for an eight-year vacation. In a way, it became his own “Last Stand”! Of course, none of us knew at the time that he’d eventually return to the band in 2024, which makes looking back at those moments even more meaningful. It’s a poignant chapter in our history, and the perfect thing to share as we celebrate the album’s 10th birthday.”
