SABATON’S NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM
The Swedish power metal icons invade a military museum in Belgium to unveil their return to the trenches on upcoming 10th album The War To End All Wars
WORDS: RICH HOBSON
SABATON ARE NO strangers to stagecraft. They are, after all, the band that came onstage at Bloodstock 2019 in an honest-to-gods tank (now the world’s most threatening drum riser), rising to their status as an arena-headlining band through sheer dogged determination and some of the catchiest European power metal songs in the business.
With their 10th album on the horizon and a litany of rescheduled tour dates looming large (including their first ever full-scale UK arena run), the band shipped a contingent of press out to the Belgian capital of Brussels in November for an educational field trip to the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History for a sneak preview of the new album.
