Swedish Heavy Metal institution SABATON released their seventh full-length record »Heroes« on May 16, 2014 via Nuclear Blast and reached some of the highest chart entries in the band history, among them the first #1 in their native Sweden, #2 in Finland, #3 in Germany, #4 in Czech Republic, #6 in Poland, #7 in Switzerland – and many more!
Today the band unveils the lyric video on the album opening track 'Night Witches'. Check out the clip on the Nuclear Blast YouTube channel:
Commented guitarist Thobbe Englund: „Actually it’s one of my favorites. It reminds me a lot of JUDAS PRIEST, in a kind of ACCEPT style. It’s a really cool metal song - tough & hard.”
Added guitarist Chris Rörland: „It’s a very good opening song for the album. You start with it, and you get a good idea for the whole album.”
While SABATON are currently touring the US, they will return to Europe on November 25 and will be on the road for an extended run in late 2014 and early 2015. For all dates, check below:
