SABATON Guitarist TOMMY JOHANSSON Unleashes Solo Cover Of BLACK SABBATH's "Headless Cross" (Video)

Sabaton guitarist / Majestica frontman Tommy Johansson has shared his weekly solo cover song and video, this time taking on Black Sabbath's "Headless Cross". The song is taken from the album of the same name, released in 1989, and originally featured Tony Martin on vocals.

Sabaton have released the new lyric video below for the song "En Livstid i Krig", lifted from the band's Carolus Rex album.

Says Sabaton: "Jump into the weekend the right way by blasting 'En Livstid i Krig' as loud as possible! đŸ€˜ Here’s our brand new lyric video for one of your favourites. Enjoy metalheads!"

Spring 2023 will see Sabaton touring across Europe on the eagerly awaited re-scheduled tour: The Tour To End All Tours.

Starting in Leeds on April 14, the tour will bring Sabaton to 21 cities in 14 countries. They will present their biggest and most spectacular show to date in Europe's largest arenas. Fans can be assured that the band will write history with the ground-breaking live shows on The Tour To End All Tours.

The band also confirmed that Japanese dance metal sensation Babymetal will appear as very special guests, marking their first international shows in over three years. Finnish Eurovision winners Lordi will open all shows.

"We are extremely happy to welcome Babymetal to our already much anticipated tour in Europe 2023,” says bass player PĂ€r Sundström. “The energy and power of this band will for sure make each night something special."

“If there ever was a band that would break all the rules, it’s Babymetal with the power and precision to deliver a full on heavy metal show!” echoes frontman Joakim BrodĂ©n. “It’s not our first rodeo together, expect nothing but excellence from Babymetal!”

Joakim participated as a guest on “Oh! Majinai (feat. Joakim BrodĂ©n)" on Babymetal’s third album, Metal Galaxy, released on October 11th, 2018. He also made a guest appearance at Babymetal’s headline show in October 2018, Babymetal World Tour 2018 in Japan Extra Show Dark Night Carnival.
