In the more than two decades since the band’s launch, SABATON—Joakim Brodén (vocals), Pär Sundström (bass), Chris Rörland (guitar), Thobbe Englund (guitar), Hannes, Van Dahl (drums)–have headlined major festivals, sold-out arena concerts worldwide and gained a legion of loyal fans by carving out a reputation for being one of the hardest working bands in the business. Since their 2005 debut album, they’ve released 10 studio albums (some of which have been certified Gold, Platinum, and even Quadruple Platinum), seen eight of its albums score Top 10 international chart status, and six claim the Top 5. SABATON has earned eight Metal Hammer/Golden Gods Awards nominations, taking home the award for “Breakthrough Artist” in 2011 and “Best Live Band” in three different years, and a Grammy nomination (Swedish equivalent to the U.S. Grammy Award) as Best Heavy Metal band. SABATON has also accumulated more than four billion streams on Spotify and a further 3 billion streams across all streaming platforms, and over 2.3 billion views on YouTube.
