Sabaton has issued the following announcement about signing to
Nuclear Blast:
"After 10 years as a band and 4 albums we have decided what the
next step in the evolution of Sabaton will be. A contract with the
biggest Heavy Metal label in the world has been signed and the next
album will be released by Nuclear Blast in the spring of 2010."
Nuclear Blast also commented: “Nuclear Blast is very stoked to
announce another great signing: SABATON - one of the most promising
upcoming bands in heavy metal these days! Although they have
already released four great albums, they are still unknown to the
majority of the metal legions - which is a shame! We noticed the
band's potential to become one of the leaders of nowadays metal
scene - especially by visiting their festival appearances and club
shows. Together Nuclear Blast and SABATON are prepared for the next
step to bring the band on a much higher level! Watch out for their
new album in spring 2010!”
