Our colleague and brother Thobbe Englund has decided to part ways with Sabaton.
We wish him nothing but success and good luck in the future, and we salute him for all the good years and the fantastic moments we shared both on and off the stage!
Below is Thobbe’s own words:
————————————
Dear friends!
Today I have decided to announce my leave from Sabaton.
Why? …many may ask.
– There is this thing that I truly believe in, and that is that one should always follow the heart.
I have in recent years become more aware of what would make me feel real happiness and content, and that is to expand my own creativeness in combination with a somewhat stiller life, where I will not tour all year round at the speed of light.
Unfortunately as a consequence I will not be able to meet all of you wonderful people out there, which is sad, and I´m really gonna miss you all.
But I will still be making music, of course, and as I am writing this I am making plans for the future.
During the many years of touring with Sabaton we have become like brothers.
Together with the best crew in the world we´ve had a true blast and there is a bond between all of us that cannot be broken.
Therefore I find no reason to be sentimental, because brothers and sisters are friends for life, and the future is bright!
Always yours truly.
Thobbe.
————————————
Thobbe will do some more shows during the summer and play his final gig with Sabaton in our hometown Falun, on our own festival Sabaton Open Air, for the releaseparty of our new album The Last Stand.
After that a new guitar player will carry on.
Do not fear friends, the show will go on!

That sucks! Maybe Rikard or Oskar will rejoin. That would be really awesome.
 
HELL YES!!!
From the video comment:
A short bit of the upcoming song 'Winged Hussars' from the next album of Sabaton, 'The Last Stand' (out 19th of August). Put together from the various teaser bits in their new tour announcements.

I dislike the sound (production) but I really like this song. And that counts! Very good melodies. Catchy as f**k.
 
Sounds like Sabaton!

I like this one the most so far, but I can't help feeling like that break before the choruses really kills the momentum. Also, for a band without a live keyboard player they appear to really be pushing the keyboards hard on this album.
 
This and that clip of Winged Hussars are my favorites so far. That definitely has to be it until the rest of the album which will be here very soon. What I like is that out of the 3 full songs so far, none are about World War 2. That's been a bit too overdone.

There already are two videos on YouTube that set the music to footage from The Last Samurai. ::)
