Video footage of vocalist Joakim Brodén of Swedish metallers SABATON "splitting his trousers open" during the band's March 19, 2011 performance at the Hammerfest in Prestatyn, North Wales can be viewed below. (Note: The incident in question occurs around the three-minute mark.)

05. 40:1
06. Rise Of Evil

SABATON drummer Daniel Mullback was forced to sit out the remaining dates on the band's current tour "due to problems with his knees." He has been temporarily replaced by Robert Bäck.

SABATON recently recruited DRAGONFORCE bassist Frédéric Leclercq to play guitar on the band's current European tour. He is filling in for regular SABATON guitarist Rikard Sundén, who "has decided to multiply himself and will have his first kid at this time," according to a statement released by the band.

SABATON's fifth album, "Coat Of Arms", sold around 450 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 124 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

"Coat Of Arms" was released in Europe on May 21, 2010 via Nuclear Blast Records.
