New line-up for Sabaton
Vocalist Joakim Brodén and bassist Pär Sundström of the Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton have issued the following statement:
“To end all rumors that Sabaton will stop touring or even act/perform as a band, we can now present that Sabaton’s new lineup will be as follows:
Joakim Brodén – Vocals
Pär Sundström – Bass
Chris Rörland – Guitars
Tobbe Englund – Guitars
Robban Beck – Drums
“At the moment we are still searching for a keyboard player. Until we have found the right guy, we will still have Daniel Myhr with us in digital form, since he has specially recorded all keyboards for us to use on tour. Therefore, we are not cancelling any shows at all – the war machine of Sabaton will go on just as planned!”
Fans are invited to meet the new members on YouTube.
Sabaton’s sixth studio album, Carolus Rex, will be released in North America on May 22nd.
