Swedish metallers SABATON have issued the following update:

“Unfortunately, our drummer, Daniel Mullback, had to leave the current tour due to problems with his knees. But… The show must go on, and this Swedish War Machine cannot be stopped that easy… We stole NIGHTMARE‘s drummer Kevin [Foley], did some rehearsals during the day and were able to do the whole show yesterday.

“For the last shows we have recruited our old friend Robert Bäck from Falun to handle the drums.

“With less than 24 hours to learn a complete SABATON show, we want to dedicate a huge thanks to Kevin who saved the day!”

SABATON recently recruited DRAGONFORCE bassist Frédéric Leclercq to play guitar on the band’s current European tour. He is filling in for regular SABATON guitarist Rikard Sundén, who “has decided to multiply himself and will have his first kid at this time,” according to a statement released by the band.

Sabaton: ‘Attero Dominatus’ Reissue Track Listing Revealed

Available for the first time in North America as non-imports, SABATON‘s first four full-length albums will be re-issued by Nuclear Blast on April 14, 2011. 2006’s “Attero Dominatus (Re-Armed)” will include five bonus cuts, a demo track plus two cover songs.

A Swedish power metal sextet that specializes in military history, SABATON bassist Pär Sundström shares the following memories of the “Attero Dominatus” recording sessions, the decision to cover DORO‘s “Für Immer” (“For All Time”), the identity of SVENNE RUBINS, plus some additional information about the bonus tracks:

“For SABATON’s second release, we decided once again to work with Tommy Tägtgren. This time we came more prepared and knew more of the sound we were looking for. We were in a rush since we were going on a big European tour right after the recordings — and it was really right after. We left the studio with the final master only one hour before departing to the airport!

“For the bonus material, we chose two of the cover tracks we had already done.

“We were asked by our old friend (and booking agent for Europe) if we wanted to participate on his tribute album to Doro. Of course we wanted to, and we wanted to do a song which nobody would expect us to do, so we made ‘Für Immer’. Another cover song is the ‘Långa Bollar På Bengt’. It’s a famous Swedish song by the band SVENNE RUBINS. They are from our region in Sweden and we did this song actually before we had enough of our own songs. Later it became requested by fans worldwide.”

“Attero Dominatus (Re-Armed)” is as follows:

01. Attero Dominatus
02. Nuclear Attack
03. Rise Of Evil
04. In The Name Of God
05. We Burn
06. Angels Calling
07. Back In Control
08. Light In The Black
09. Metal Crüe

Bonus tracks:

10. Für Immer (DORO cover)
11. Långa Bollar På Bengt (SVENNE RUBINS cover)
12. Metal Medley (live in Falun 2008)
13. Nightchild
14. Primo Victoria (demo version)

SABATON‘s “World War Tour 2011” of Europe is scheduled to kick off on March 3 in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg.

Available for the first time in North America as non-imports, SABATON‘s first four full-length albums — 2005’s “Primo Victoria (Re-Armed)”, 2006’s “Attero Dominatus (Re-Armed)”, 2007’s “Metalizer (Re-Armed)” – (2 CDs) and 2008’s “The Art Of War (Re-Armed)” — will be re-issued by Nuclear Blast on April 14. Exclusive bonus material and cover songs for each re-release will soon be announced.

A Swedish power metal sextet that specializes in military history, SABATON bassist Pär Sundström has this to say about the long-overdue availability of the band’s discography in North America and the re-releases coinciding with their first-ever North American tour with German heavy metal legends ACCEPT: “We are thrilled about finally being able to tour North America and to be able to do so with such legends as ACCEPT is even better. Finally, our first four albums will be available outside of Europe right in time for this tour.

“We will be playing songs from all five albums every night and during our full-length headlining shows, we will present the music from more than ten years of SABATON for the first time on North American soil.”
