Swedish metal heavyweights Sabaton have officially announced that on September 11th, 2026, their definitive blockbuster album, The Last Stand, will be re-released as a limited 10th Anniversary Edition via Nuclear Blast Records.
To do justice to this incredible milestone, the album will not only be released for the first time with all bonus tracks, but there will also be limited editions available featuring alternative artwork, along with live videos recorded at Sabaton Open Air 2016.
First released in 2016, The Last Stand conquered the world, cracking the Worldwide Top 10 and hitting #1 in multiple countries. The grand-scale concept album delivered Sabaton‘s signature, explosive heavy metal, unleashing fan-favorite tracks and setlist favourites such as ‘The Last Stand’, ‘Winged Hussars’, ‘Shiroyama’ and many more.
Pär Sundström commented: “Who would have believed that 10 years could fly by so fast? We have so many great memories tied to The Last Stand, so we’re really happy to celebrate its 10th anniversary with the special edition vinyl and digibook with all the extras.
If you get your hands on the digibook, you’ll find bonus video footage that captures Thobbe – our guitarist – playing his final show with us at Sabaton Open Air in 2016 before stepping away for an eight-year vacation. In a way, it became his own “Last Stand”! Of course, none of us knew at the time that he’d eventually return to the band in 2024, which makes looking back at those moments even more meaningful. It’s a poignant chapter in our history, and the perfect thing to share as we celebrate the album’s 10th birthday.”
The Last Stand (10th Anniversary Edition) can be pre-order here and it will be available in the following formats:
- CD+DVD Digibook (w/ bonus DVD feat. live clips from Sabaton Open Air 2016)
- 2LP Gatefold Vinyl (Disc One: Natural Red Marbled (Bloodstone marbled) / Disc Two: Trans Orange Black White Splatter)
In over two decades since their launch, Swedish metallers Sabaton have carved out a reputation as one of the hardest-working bands in the business – gaining a legion of loyal fans across the globe, delivering eleven highly-rated studio albums (including two certified platinum-sellers), and scoring multiple industry award wins and nominations.
