SABATON: Working Title Of Next Album Revealed

August 19, 2011

Swedish metallers SABATON have set "Kings Of War" as the working title of their next album, tentatively due before the end of 2012 via Nuclear Blast Records.

SABATON will play the final show of its current tour on December 18 at Trix/Hof Ter Lo in Antwerp, Belgium. The band states, "This will be a one-off and we will not bring a setlist or respect any venue curfew."

The group adds, "Last tour we ended in Essen (Germany) and it was a totally magic night. This time the honor to end the tour has come to Belgium and we are sure that this will be the perfect place and country that we will remember when we enter the studio.

"The last five times SABATON played Trix/Hof Ter Lo it was sold out in advance, so if you do not want to miss the show of the year, make sure you get your tickets direct. Tickets will be released on August 26.

"This show will mark the end of the fantastic one-and-a-half-year-long 'World War Tour' and is likely the last chance to hear some of our songs for a very long time since next time we go on tour it will be with a completely new album in our backs."

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.
