Sabaton Announce Deluxe Edition Of ‘Legends’ & Shares Lyric Video For ‘Berserker’

The Swedish masters of heavy metal Sabaton have expanded their acclaimed eleventh full-length album, ‘Legends‘, with a brand new recharged Deluxe Edition out March 5th, 2027 via Better Noise Music. Pre-order it – here.

To crank up anticipation for its arrival, the group just released a new single and lyric video for ‘Berserker‘.

Listen to the song – here.

”Berserker” nods to the group’s deep Scandinavian roots, lineage, and history. It channels the spirit of classic lore re-ignited with thunderous heavy metal. The single started to take shape a few years back, yet Sabaton opted to carefully perfect it and unleash it at the right moment — now. Powered up by cloud-shaking guitars and soaring vocals, it spins a myth all its own that’s as raw, riveting, and rapturous as the band’s best material.

It hits with the force of a Viking fleet and leaves an undeniable mark straight out of the gate.

The animated visual serves as the perfect accompaniment for ‘Berserker‘.’ It revisits the legend of the Berserker at Stamford Bridge, co-mingling two realities of the present and the memory. Continuing what has become a tradition of blockbuster-worthy visuals, you need to see it to believe it. All hail Sabaton!

About the song, bassist Pär Sundström said, “‘Berserker‘ breathes Scandinavian influences, so the Viking theme came naturally. It’s close to our own roots and our own history, and that gave the song a special meaning for us.”

The news of the deluxe edition arrives as the band embarks on its first U.S. tour in four years.  ‘Legends Deluxe Edition‘ will be available on streaming, download and various physical formats: Deluxe CD, 3CD Deluxe Digibook, Amazon exclusive Deluxe CD, 2LP Deluxe Vinyl, 2LP Amazon exclusive Deluxe Vinyl, 2LP Berserker Edition Deluxe Vinyl (Indie Exclusive), 2LP Stephen the Great Edition Deluxe Vinyl (Indie Exclusive) and a very special box set, which includes a variety of exclusive formats and content. There is something here for every Sabaton fan.

About Sabaton:

In 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 eleven studio albums. They’ve also had eight albums score Top 10 international chart status, and six claim the Top 5. The band 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) as Best Heavy Metal Band.

In 2008, Sabaton hosted the first edition of its annual, three-day music festival, SabatonOpen Air, in Sweden. The year after, the highly popular Sabaton Cruise was introduced, which sails out of Stockholm each year for epic sea adventures and live acts. A pivotal point in the band’s history was the debut of the Sabaton History Channel in 2019, which uses the power of music and storytelling to dive into the stories behind every song with documentary-style videos.

In March 2022, the band’s tenth studio album ‘The War To End All Wars’ was released, revisiting WW1 and featuring eleven songs. To conclude the band’s chapter on the First World War, the quintet released an EP trilogy on 30th September 2022, entitled ‘Echoes Of The Great War‘. The band embarked on The Tour To End All Tours and The Great Swedish Tour in 2022/2023. In April 2023, the band was recognised by the Swedish Skeptics Association with the highly regarded ‘Enlightener of the Year Award’, making Sabaton the first ever rock band to receive such an honour.

In June 2023, SABATON launched History Rocks, a global museum charity project which revolved around the band’s new animated film, The War To End All Wars – The Movie, which was screened in 140 museums around the world. The film was later released on major video streaming services in May 2025. In 2024, Sabaton celebrated the global premiere of their concert film Sabaton– The Tour To End All Tours. They continued to embark on The Legendary Tour 2025 (review here), before releasing their eleventh studio album ‘Legends‘ in October 2025.

Ultimately, Sabaton the first ever rock band to receive such an honour. refuses to be slotted into a genre. Fans need only know them as Sabaton the first ever rock band to receive such an honour., the heavy metal band that sings of real-life wars and the people who played a part in them; true stories more fantastic than any fiction.
