From Press Release:
Sweden’s power battle metal band, Sabaton, just released their latest video, “Crossing The Rubicon.” It’s taken from their 11th studio album LEGENDS that was released on October 17.
The video had its world premiere at the sold-out “The Legendary Tour 2025” O2 Arena show in London on December 4 before 20,000+ fans. Listen to the album version of “Crossing The Rubicon” HERE.
As bassist Pär Sundström says,
“This was one of the most enjoyable music videos we’ve ever made. Everything flowed smoothly thanks to the amazing energy of the actors and the unique charm of the location. We spent two days filming in Sabbioneta, Italy, at the Teatro all’Antica, which is one of the oldest surviving indoor theatres in Europe. It was a fascinating location, full of character and history. Since the theatre operates as a museum during the day, we were only allowed to film in the evenings, which added a layer of challenge to the production.”
Throughout LEGENDS, Joakim Brodén (vocals), Pär Sundström (bass), Chris Rörland (guitar), Thobbe Englund (guitar), Hannes Van Dahl (drums) delve into some of history’s greatest characters such as Jeanne D’arc (also known as Joan of Arc), Hannibal, Genghis Khan, Vlad the Impaler, Julius Caesar, the Knights Templar, and the legendary swordmaster Miyamoto Musashi.
It marks a bold evolution in the band’s sound and storytelling, plunging headfirst into the heart of history’s most formidable and enigmatic figures. These are not just rock songs; they are battle hymns carved from the blood and legacy of warriors, kings, strategists and revolutionaries.
LEGENDS is available HERE as a digital download, as well as in various physical formats and retailer exclusives.
