After a massive successful Gig in 2008 in Tel Aviv, Sabaton will strike in Israel again, the show will happen in Friday August 27th In Tel Aviv.
Stated Past and Present Promoter Yishai Swearts of "Raven Music":
"We are proud to present a second show of the Swedish heavy metal machines SABATON in Israel, the first show in 2008 was a huge success and a special night to remember for both band and fans, I knew that the time will come to strike again and after 2 years of wait – the Israeli SABATON Army is finally about to get what they deserve – a second lesson in the art of war."
Sabaton wish you a Heavy New Year. On next Monday we start our real recordings of the "Coat of Arms" album. You will be able to follow the recordings via our Youtube channel.
We also have another teaser from the upcoming album. This song is more earlier Sabaton style with more guitarwork. This song is not yet recorded, this is just a pre-production/demo version of the song.
We are currently booking our next tours so stay tuned. Tickets will be available very soon.
See you all on tour 2010.
MERRY XMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Wed, 23 Dec 2009 22:52:05 +0100
Here comes our Xmas present to all you friends, fans and freaks out there.
What about the new album artwork, the title of the new album and of course a teaser of the music from the new album?
This song is of course a pre-produced demo version since we have not yet recorded any new material, but it gives a hint.
So, we hope you like it and that this news keeps you warm during the cold months of the winter, for in the spring we go on the road again.
And we will see you all, under the COAT OF ARMS.

We started the tour in Essen with the releaseparty for the Art of War album. Now 160 shows in more then 25 countries later we returned to end the tour in the same city.
We can simply say it has been a fantastic tour that gave us so many unforgettable moments.
For this show we invited the most of the crewmembers who have been with us for a year and a half now and as our special guests we invited Grailknights who also were part of our headlinetour.
The core of our european fans from all nations were present and its hard to describe the feeling it was to return to place where this amazing trip started!
Now we are back home and within just a few days the recordings of the new album will start...

Once again we will attend the Metallsvenskan in Örebro, a footballtournament for metalbands aswell as some concerts.
