The Swedish masters of heavy metal Sabaton have expanded their acclaimed eleventh full-length album, “Legends”, with a brand new recharged Deluxe Edition out March 5, 2027 via Better Noise Music.
To crank up anticipation for its arrival, the group just dropped a new single + lyric video for “Berserker”.
”Berserker” nods to the group’s deep Scandinavian roots, lineage, and history. It channels the spirit of classic lore re-ignited with thunderous heavy metal. The single started to take shape a few years back, yet Sabaton opted to carefully perfect it and unleash it at the right moment — now. Powered up by cloud-shaking guitars and soaring vocals, it spins a myth all its own that’s as raw, riveting, and rapturous as the band’s best material.
It hits with the force of a Viking fleet and leaves an undeniable mark straight out of the gate.
The official video for “Berserker”, featuring actor Eric Roberts, will arrive on Monday, November 9 at 3pm CET/9am EST/6am PST.
The animated visual serves as the perfect accompaniment for ”Berserker.”. It revisits the legend of the Berserker at Stamford Bridge, co-mingling two realities of the present and the memory. Continuing what has become a tradition of blockbuster-worthy visuals, you need to see it to believe it. All hail Sabaton!
About the song, bassist Pär Sundström said, “‘Berserker’ breathes Scandinavian influences, so the Viking theme came naturally. It’s close to our own roots and our own history, and that gave the song a special meaning for us.”
The news of the deluxe edition arrives as the band embarks on its first U.S. tour in four years. “LEGENDS DELUXE” will be available on streaming, download and various physical formats: Deluxe CD, 3CD Deluxe Digibook, Amazon exclusive Deluxe CD, 2LP Deluxe Vinyl, 2LP Amazon exclusive Deluxe Vinyl, 2LP Berserker Edition Deluxe Vinyl (Indie Exclusive), 2LP Stephen the Great Edition Deluxe Vinyl (Indie Exclusive) and a very special box set, which includes a variety of exclusive formats and content. There is something here for every Sabaton fan.
Sabaton will embark on the “Legends On Tour” trek across North America this month. Pop Evil and Wings of Steel will serve as support. All dates are below, including their European arena tour dates, set for 2027.
