‘Sabotage’ was recorded at Destiny Recording Studio (DRS) by Henrik Pettersson of Tarmpolin Recordings
A year ago, the Swedish metal veterans DESTINY were asked if they wanted to participate on an album for the football (soccer) team IFK Gothenburg. Since all members of the band were suporters there was never any doubt to say yes even though they were in the middle of the recording of the upcoming album “Climate Change”.
Stefan Björnshög explains:
-It was a quick process. Between last christmas and new yeas eve I began to write the music. I wanted it to be a song that would work well for the Destiny fans even if they were completely uninterested in football but also easy enough to sing along with this the first time you hear it as supporter of the team. That is why Destiny for the first time released a song with Swedish lyrics.
When the music felt ready the whole band met in the studio and within hours we both learned and recorded the song. Next Jonas Heidgert and our sound engineer and producer Henrik Pettersson wrote the lyrics and recorded the vocals. Some additional vocals and guitars were recorded the following day, but basically everything was completed in one day. We have never worked this fast before. I am very satisfied and think we have succeeded with both goals.
The video that was filmed on top of Ramberget with Gothenburg as background is the icing on the cake, and provides the perfect setting for the song, “Förväntan Stiger (Anticipation Rises)”.

Veith had been a fan of Destiny since the early nineties and a couple of years ago he met Stefan Björnshög which in turn last year led to a guest appearance on the coming Destiny album ”Climate Change”. After that it was only natural that after his relocation to Sweden that he would eventually end up in Destiny, who already had plans to ad an extra guitarist as compliment to Michael Åberg.
