The video for the Coat Of Arms single “Uprising” (which has since become a live staple) was directed by Jacek Raginis (a relative of decorated World War II hero Wladyslav Raginis) and produced by Bogna Janiec of Studio Filmowe N. Worldwide first-week chart entries for Coat Of Arms included: Sweden #4 Poland #9 Finland #17 Germany #19 Switzerland #33 and Austria #71. Their worldwide momentum continued to grow from there. Their 2010 album, Coat Of Arms, entered SABATON into the American Billboard charts for the first time (#124 – Heatseekers #87 – Top Hard Music), achieved Gold status in Poland, and debuted on the European Billboard Top 100 Albums chart at #34. SABATON introduced themselves to North American audiences via special performances at Austin’s annual South By Southwest Festival in 2008 and Atlanta’s annual ProgPower Festival in 2009. Like their home country of Sweden, SABATON aims to remain politically neutral in their role as musical war historians. The band thoroughly researches their topics to ensure the songs paint accurate & objective portraits of the historical event they’re singing about, which are narrated from an omniscient point-of-view or in first-person as a soldier caught in the line of fire. “For us it means a lot more to write about historical events than to make up stories,” says bassist Pär Sundström, one of the main songwriters. Heroes also held the #7 position on the Billboard Hard Rock/Metal chart and debuted at #105 on the Canadian Billboard Top 200 album chart and #11 on the Canadian Hard Rock/Metal chart.įormed in Falun, Sweden in 1999, the band is best known for singing almost exclusively about historical wars & battles, a direction SABATON members decided to take on after watching the 1999 Academy Award-winning film Saving Private Ryan. SABATON‘s seventh studio album, Heroes, catapulted the band to their first appearance on the American Billboard Top 100 chart in June 2014 with a debut at #99 by tripling the first-week album sales of 2012’s Carolus Rex.
