Joakim of Sabaton

Markus Hamence is in The Jungle Room with Joakim from Sabaton ahead of their 2025 Australian Tour PLUS the upcoming NEW ALBUM ‘Legends’.

Sabaton are ready to ignite a new era with the highly anticipated release of their 11^th studio album Legends. It arrives October 17 via Better Noise Music and marks the band’s label debut.

Throughout the aptly titled Legends, which blends rock and history for fans of all ages, Sabaton delve into some of history’s greatest and most loved characters such as Jeanne D’arc (also known as Joan of Arc), Napoleon Bonaparte, Julius Caesar, and the legendary swordmaster Miyamoto Musashi.

As a special celebratory gift to their legions of loyal fans around the world, SABATON are releasing not one, but two brand new songs from Legends.

Legends is a rock odyssey that transcends time and borders, with melodic guitar riffs, goosebump-inducing choirs, and epic choruses. It marks a bold evolution in storytelling, plunging headfirst into the heart of history’s most formidable and enigmatic figures. These are not just rock songs, they are battle hymns carved from the blood and legacy of warriors, kings, strategists, and revolutionaries.

It marks the very first time that every band member has come together to contribute to the songwriting process. This is Sabaton as you’ve never heard them before, relentless and unbound. Legends is a global journey through the annals of warfare, leadership and unbreakable will.

In the more than two decades since the band’s launch, SABATON has headlined major festivals, sold-out arena concerts worldwide, and gained a legion of loyal fans by carving out a reputation for being one of the hardest working bands in the business. Since their 2005 debut album, they’ve earned Gold, Platinum, and multi-Platinum certifications in territories around the world with their 10 studio albums. Eight of their albums scored Top 10 international chart status, and six claimed the Top 5. SABATON has earned eight Metal Hammer/Golden Gods Awards nominations, taking home the award for “Breakthrough Artist” in 2011 and “Best Live Band” in three different years, and a Grammis nomination (Swedish equivalent to the U.S. Grammy Award) as Best Heavy Metal band.

Sabaton will be touring Australia and New Zealand on the eve of of the release of Legends.
Fans here will be among the first in the world to experience some of the new album tracks live!
