“Legends” (out tomorrow on their new label Better Noise Music) marks a bold new chapter for Sabaton with a mix of myth, metal, and history told through the voices of heroes and legends themselves. We sat down with bassist Pär Sundström to talk about the band’s fresh creative energy, lineup changes, and what it really means to become “legendary.”
Battle Beast unleash their 7th studio album ‘Steelbound’ via Nuclear Blast on the 17th of October. This album merges the best of what we already know from them with some fresh new ideas, and it’s certain to keep all sadness and troubles away for at least 38 minutes.
The 18th edition of Alcatraz is shaping up to be historic with headliners Arch Enemy and Alestorm, legends like Soulfly, Saxon, Body Count, Rose Tattoo, extreme assaults from Immolation, Internal Bleeding, 200 Stab Wounds, Sanguisugabogg, and modern favorites like Kittie, Northlane, Animals As Leaders, The Ghost Inside.
We’re especially thrilled to see the Belgian flag flying high again with Channel Zero, Amenra, Enthroned, Psychonaut and Mantah on the bill. And let’s not forget our longtime Finnish favorites Luna Kills, making a big step onto the Alcatraz stage!
On top of that, the Prison Stage opens already on the Thursday for the first time ever, and day ticket prices are lower than 2025 right now!
