Pär Sundström – Bass
Chris Rörland (NOCTURNAL RITES) – Guitar
Thobbe Englund (WINTERLONG, RAUBTIER) – Guitar
Robban Bäck (BALTIMOORE, PREY) – Drums

Commented the group: “At the moment we are still searching for a keyboard player. Until we have found the right guy we will still have Daniel Myhr with us, in digital form, since he has specially recorded all keyboards for us to use on tour. Therefore, we are not cancelling any shows at all — the war machine of SABATON will go on just as planned!”

The band previously stated about “Carolus Rex”: “For the first time ever we have had an expert to help us out with the theme, the well-known Swedish historian Bengt Liljegren. We have also added some extra time in the studio to find the absolute right sound on ‘Carolus Rex’, and our producer, Peter Tägtgren, says that this album will mark a brand new standard for how a heavy metal album should sound like!”

Liljegren‘s published works include acclaimed biographies of Adolf Hitler and Karl XII. He also appeared in the popular Swedish TV series “Boston Tea Party”.

SABATON will embark on a North American headlining tour this month. The “Swedish Empire Tour 2012” will kick off on April 10 in Tampa, Florida.

As first reported by BLABBERMOUTH.NET on March 26, Swedish metallers SABATON have now confirmed the departure of guitarists Oskar Montelius and Rikard Sundén, drummer Daniel Mulback and keyboardist Daniel Mÿhr. Vocalist Joakim Bróden and bassist Pär Sundström will continue SABATON with new, as-yet-undisclosed members.

Commented SABATON in a statement: “Starting a band at the age of 18 is simple, keeping it intact for 12 years is much harder, and finally we have come to the crossroad where we will go separate ways.

“Pär Sundström and Joakim Brodén will continue to battle on stage, carrying the banner of SABATON to further victories.

“We will always have an eternal bond to each other, created by more than 12 years of friendship and touring, and wish each other long and prosperous lives with families, various projects and musical careers.

“In the end, all six of us will end up in our own glorious future…” Source: Blabbermouth.net

SABATON Lineup Changes In The Works?

Swedish-language newspaper Dalarnas Tidningar (DT) from SABATON‘s hometown of Falun published a report earlier today (Monday, March 26) claiming that the band’s current incarnation will go its separate ways, with vocalist Joakim Brodén and bassist Pär Sundström planning to continue the group with new musicians.

According to Dalarnas Tidningar, it is not presently clear what caused SABATON‘s most recent lineup to implode, and Brodén, who is also the band’s main songwriter, was tight-lipped about possible personnel changes when reached by the newspaper. “I will not comment on it,” he said.

When pressed further to confirm or deny the rumors, Brodén said, “I can’t say anything as long as the tape recorder is on. But what I can say is that it’s sad that such rumors are being spread.”
