Sabaton will release their new album, Heroes, on May 16th via Nuclear Blast. The band has launched the third trailer for which was filmed during the album presentation in Stockholm, on February 22nd. The trailer was produced and edited by David Havlena of Spark Magazine (CZ) at the Pax studio. I In the third episode vocalist Joakim Brodén, bassist Pär Sundström and guitarist Thobbe Englund among other things talk about the historical background of Heroes.

For the upcoming Heroes album, Sabaton have revealed the different tracklists, including all the bonus tracks that will be available. Among them are three cover versions of tracks from METALLICA, BATTLE BEAST and RAUBTIER.

The band comments on the covers:

Metallica's ‘For Whom The Bell Tolls’ - "All of us are old fans of Metallica. The choice of the song was difficult, but we all could agree on that one. As an addition, ‘For Whom The Bell Tolls’ was the first heavy metal song ever performed on a stage by Pär.”

Battle Beast's ‘Out Of Control‘ - "Battle Beast was our secret guest at our latest Sabaton cruise and we all enjoyed watching them perform their songs live. We thought we wanted to support young and upcoming bands and decided to do a cover of them.”

Raubtier's ‘En Hjältes Väg‘ - "Raubtier are our brothers from the north of Sweden. We have played together countless times and in the past, and Thobbe used to be in this band. At a special concert in 2012 Joakim performed this song live together with Raubtier and it awoke the idea of doing a cover-version. Seeing to the song title it was also a natural choice for our latest album Heroes."
