The song is available at radio
Sabaton has released “Crossing The Rubicon,” featuring singer Jonny Hawkins and guitarist Mark Vollelunga of Nothing More. This special collaborative version is available at radio, while the original version will be available as part of the Legends album release.
Blending rock and history for fans of all ages, Legends arrives October 17th via Better Noise Music and marks the band’s label debut.
“Working with our American brothers in Nothing More on our new single ‘Crossing The Rubicon’ has been an absolute pleasure,” says frontman Joakim Brodén. “When we shared the song with the guys, they really liked it and were genuinely excited about a collaboration, which got us really pumped. There’s something powerful about bringing two worlds together in music.”
Legends will be available across several physical formats and retailer exclusives including CD, 2 CD digibook, 2 CD earbook (both including the exclusive Storyteller Edition), 11 unique vinyl editions (each including a special vinyl color and exclusive artwork), additional exclusive vinyl colors and a limited box set with another exclusive vinyl color, the 2 CD earbook, and a colored cassette as an exclusive format.
Amongst 11 unique vinyl editions, each one portraying one legendary figure, Legends will be available as the “Hannibal Edition” and the “Miyamoto Musashi Edition,” which are linked to the song releases for “Lightning at the Gates” (Hannibal) and “The Duelist” (Miyamoto Musashi).
The project is a rock odyssey that transcends time and borders, with melodic guitar riffs, goosebump-inducing choirs, and epic choruses. It marks a bold evolution in storytelling, plunging headfirst into the heart of history’s most formidable and enigmatic figures. These are not just rock songs. They are battle hymns carved from the blood and legacy of warriors, kings, strategists, and revolutionaries.
It marks the first time that every band member has come together to contribute to the songwriting process.
Sabaton has always written songs about historical battles, wars, and acts of heroism that have solidified their loyal and longtime fans. They’ve collaborated closely with their network of specialists, developed over the years since the launch of the Sabaton History Channel on YouTube, to make sure this new album is once again as close to reality as possible.
They continue to work with graphic artist Peter Sallai to create the striking album artwork, and producer Jonas Kjellgren is once again behind the boards from his Swedish Black Lounge Studios to create the classic Sabaton sound the band is now known for.
