Simultaneously, the band announces the new single "The Royal Guard" and starts the pre-order for the limited vinyl edition of the single that will see the light of day on April 9. This 12'' comes with a beautifully etched B-side, noble gold foil prints and embossed artwork, and contains both the English version of the track - "The Royal Guard" as well as the Swedish version "Livgardet". For a strictly limited edition, the band has even visited the pressing plant and created a special vinyl that will contain real gunpowder.

"Over the past years, we have been discussing topics until something obvious came up. One of the oldest military regiments in the world, the Swedish Royal Guard (Livgardet), was formed in SABATON's home region in Sweden, Dalecarlia, in 1521 by the legendary Swedish king Gustav Vasa.
For the past 500, years they have evolved with the times and served under various kings and queens around the world, and they are still active today. We felt that such an anniversary would be worth a song, and we aimed at writing a respectful tribute, an anthem for this Swedish regiment and its legacy.
The rich 500 years of history is, needless to say, extremely hard to fit into one single song, and that is why we mainly focused on the parts and battles that happened during the age of the Swedish Empire. We aimed to write a respectful tribute, a powerful anthem, for this Swedish regiment and its remarkable legacy."
So prepare to salute a 500-year-old legacy, and get ready for a year filled with countless surprises, new history lessons, and both musical and visual sensations from a band that continues to exceed itself.
