Party: Sabaton + Alestorm (Co-Headline) + Bloodbound

Heroes are back with a vengeance!

"What can we do when our band's previous album is a career-defining classic and one of our home country's most successful heavy metal albums ever?" This was the million dollar question that the members of Sabaton - Swedish heavy metal heroes, who have dominated the European heavy metal circuit already for years and received prestigious awards including Metal Hammer UK's Golden Gods Award for "Best Break through Artist" - had to ask themselves after the successful world tour promoting their sixth and platinum selling album "Carolus Rex" (2012).

"Heroes", which will be released in May by world's most powerful heavy metal label Nuclear Blast Records, will strike the metal scene like a fighter aircraft from the clear sky.
As a whole, "Heroes" serves compelling mixture of epic metal anthems, carried out by ultra-powerful guitar riffs, pounding drums, catchy choruses, "rough-meets-melody" kind of vocals and incomparable solos - not forgetting the totally new level of intensity and bombastic sound quality, thanks to a world-famous producer an

d Sabaton's long-time guardian angel Peter Tägtgren. "Heroes" definitely introduces Sabaton more varied and dynamically wider than ever before, but at the same time, the fresh-sounding new record still possess every imaginable element that you may expect from these heroic northmen.

After hearing "Heroes", it's definitely not exaggerating to inform that Sabaton has taken some mighty steps after the band's core musicians -vocalist/composer Joakim Brodén and bassist/manager Pär Sundström - were joined by totally new blood (guitarists Chris Rörland and Thobbe Englund and drummer Hannes van Dahl) after career-defining "Carolus Rex" was recorded during 2011/2012. If you ever had any doubts regarding the new line-up's abilities, "Heroes" will blast your suspicions to outer space if not further.

Avast, ye landlubbers! From the deepest darkest depths of eastern Scotland comes ALESTORM, a drunken band of pirates on an epic quest to drink your beer, steal your rum, and be the greatest damn band that ever did sail the seven seas!
Describing their style as "True Scottish Pirate Metal", Alestorm plays an infectious blend of modern folk and power metal with a unique piratical twist.

Prepare to have your mind blown with some of the catchiest Pirate Metal anthems you've ever heard, with tales of mythological creatures, epic battles, and swashbuckling action that'll make you want to raise up a pint of rum and sing your heart out!
