Interviews

“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.”

Xavier Baecke took GRIMM to Tommy Johansson. Not only Sabaton’s lead guitarist, but also the founder, vocalist, and guitarist of Majestica, Sweden’s national karaoke champion, Youtuber and just one of the best guitarists in power metal. We talked about his main influences for his guitar play, his hot take on if Sabaton is power metal or not, and a possible little peek at future projects. The dream for any reporter with a warm heart for (power) metal.

In the last part, we grilled Pär about the Sabaton live shows, History Channel and a couple of other things…

Sabaton brought war to Helsinki and tried burning down the sold out Jäähalli with their fire show. They outdid themselves with this grand masterpiece, brought to Finland by TuskaLive and Grey Beard. Babymetal and Lordi both did a great job warming us up for this spectacle.

Sabaton came all the way from Sweden with their theatrics and pyrotechnics to almost literally set Antwerps biggest venue on fire and brought Amaranthe and Apocalyptica to heat things up even more.

After a warmup party with Knotfest France 2019 at the Hellfest Mainstage Area, we are super ready for our first real day in Hell.
