Heroes On Tour: CD + Poster

Sabaton, the Swedish heavy metal heroes, have dominated the European heavy metal circuit for years and received prestigious awards including Metal Hammer UK’s Golden Gods Award for “Best Breakthrough Artist“. Heavy metal’s most enthusiastic fan legions have seen Sabaton playing huge stadiums with Iron Maiden – but also on their own as Sabaton performed their biggest show ever in Polish Przystanek Woodstock Festival in front of more than half a million fans. Sabaton’s 2014 seventh full-length studio recording ‘Heroes’ was, once again, a concept record based on different historical, 20th century wars and battles, telling fascinating stories about heroic men and women on their dangerous missions on battlefields and other belligerent locations.Music-wise, “Heroes”, struck the metal scene like a fighter aircraft from the clear sky. After serving some ultra-catchy, more traditional Sabaton epics (“No Bullets Fly”,”Soldier Of 3 Armies”), the Falun-quintet invaded more unprecedented territory with songs such as the powerful “The Ballad Of Bull”, Western-movie themed “To Hell And Back” and the guitar-driven “Resist And Bite”. ‘Heroes’ also saw the band breach the UK Top 75 album charts while, in the live arena, the band continued to deliver attention-grabbing sets.Last year saw a riotous set on Download’s second stage while last August witnessed a show-stealing performance at Bloodstock – pyro, fireworks, tank and all!Live Wacken 2015
