Sabaton’s Pär Sundström joins us to talk all about Legends, the band’s new album and a turning point in how they tell stories through metal.
Sabaton’s new album, Legends, marks a bold new era for the Swedish metal giants, a journey through 11 epic tales from across the ages, each one echoing with the power, triumph, and tragedy that define human history.
In this interview, bassist and co-founder Pär Sundström reveals how Legends came to life, from the creation of the long-awaited Templars track to reimagining the rise and fall of figures like Julius Caesar and Vlad the Impaler.
Far from retelling the past, Sabaton very much bring it into the present, blending historical storytelling with metal’s infectious energy. Pär explains how the band approaches accuracy, balance, and perspective to make their records as timeless as the legends they depict.
Sabaton’s new album LEGENDS is out Friday, 17th October via Better Noise Music.
