Sabaton has been on the road around the world in light of The Last Stand, their most recent studio record that hit #1 in the Swedish Top 20 Rock Charts. They’re also holding records in 3 other positions in the charts, and the impressive level of album sales they’ve achieved has paid off in the form of Gold and Platinum plaque awards. The Last Stand hit #6 worldwide and #1 in Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, and Germany among others. On March 4, the band was honored with golden plaques for The Last Stand’s sales in the Czech Republic at Tipsport Arena, Prague. Bassist Pär Sundström commented: “This is proof of two things – first, that we are still able to make music that fans want to listen to, and second, that we have fantastic fans who really care. Sure, the current tour is called “The Last Tour”, but as long as it is going like this we’ll be going strong for a long time.” The Last Stand is available on the Nuclear Blast Webstore and digitally as well. Next month will see the band on the road alongside Leaves’ Eyes and Battle Beast, starting on April 20^th in PA, spanning the spring with even more dates on the way.
