UPRISING!

We’re very proud to announce the video for our song “Uprising”.
This video is a small insight to the events of the Warsaw Uprising that started on the 1:st of August 1944 and lasted for 63 days.

We have been blessed with the opportunity to attend the ceremony remembering the fallen on “W”-hour in Warsaw, as well as given the chance to meet and speak with veterans and survivors of the battle.

This video is a tribute to all the brave men, women and children who fought and lost their lives in this battle, and we would like to ask you all to please spread the word about this video, and more importantly, this battle who sadly seems to be a forgotten chapter in history outside of Poland.

And finally, a BIG thank you to the Radosław reenactment group who made sure that all details are historically correct, as well as actors Peter Stormare, Monika Buchowiec, and Mateusz Damięcki whose participation in this video hopefully will increase the interest in this video and the Warsaw Uprising.

Gloria Victis!

NEW SABATON ALBUM DEBUTS ON TWO BILLBOARD CHARTS

Swedish epic power metal sextet SABATON have just entered the Billboard charts at #124 (Heatseekers) and #87 (Top Hard Music) with their brand new World War II-themed album, Coat Of Arms.  Worldwide first-week chart entries are as follows: Sweden #4; Poland #9; Finland #17; Germany #19; Switzerland #33 and Austria #71.

En route to Frankfurt, Germany for a festival appearance, SABATON lead singer Joakim Brodén checks in from the airport in Stockholm about the band’s recent accomplishment in North America:

Coat Of Arms keeps bringing us amazing news all the time it seems.  Six Swedish heavy metal retards in camo pants on the Billboard charts?  Never thought I’d see the day!  I’m not sure I believe it, but if it’s true, we’re the happiest Swedes alive at this moment!  What’s next, pink aliens at Wal-Mart?  Thanks to all our American brothers and sisters and cousins who actually bought our album instead of downloading it!  Damn, we’ve just GOT to find some way to get over to America on this tour!”

Coat Of Arms is available for streaming in its entirety on the band’s MySpace page.  The track listing is:

01.  Coat of Arms

02.  Midway

03.  Uprising

04.  Screaming Eagles

05.  The Final Solution

06.  Aces In Exile

07.  Saboteurs

08.  Wehrmacht

09.  White Death

10.  Metal Ripper
North American Bonus Tracks:

11.  Coat Of Arms (Instrumental)

12.  Metal Ripper (Instrumental)

The band’s headlining “World War Tour” kicks off on August 27 and consists of over 60 shows in more than 20 countries.  The final concert will take place on December 11, after which SABATON “will re-group, re-arm and prepare for yet another strike in 2011.”

SABATON recently shot a video in Warsaw, Poland for the track “Uprising” with director Jacek Raginis (who is related to decorated World War II hero Wladyslav Raginis) and producer Bogna Janiec of Studio Filmowe N.  The video is described as “a powerful and emotional tribute to those who lost their lives in the Warsaw uprising in 1944” and includes an appearance by Swedish actor Peter Stormare (Fargo, 8MM, Prison Break), Polish actors Mateusz Damięcki and Monika Buchowiec, plus a special appearance by General Waldemar Skrzypczak of the Polish army.  View a video trailer here.  View the “Making Of” video here.  View photos from the video shoot here.
SABATON features Joakim Brodén on vocals, Oskar Montelius on guitars, Rikard Sundén on guitars, Pär Sundström on bass, Daniel Mullback on drums, and Daniel Mÿhr on keyboards.

Waiting for the Uprising video?

Well, it’s soon here…
August 1:st it will be released, and until then this live clip from Metaltown, Sweden, might be a good / nasty teaser? :)
