Sabaton are a Swedish Grammi-nominated power metal band from Falun. Their music is battle-minded with a historical slant, bringing to mind Iron Maiden's classic songs with a newer school edge. This album, for example, is inspired by the individual battles and uprisings during WWII. They initially geared up for war and started to make plans for world domination in `99, and are starting to realize this destiny on their sixth full-length album, Coat of Arms. The band's lineup of Joakim Brodén on vocals, Oskar Montelius on guitars, Rikard Sundén on guitars, Pär Sundström on bass, Daniel Mullback on drums, and Daniel Mÿhr on keyboards has been in place for years. Their sound has grown and changed and now with a heavier sound and much more powerful songs, Sabaton are now ready to spread the word under the Coat of Arms!
