We aimed to write a respectful tribute, a powerful anthem, for this Swedish regiment and its remarkable legacy."Īn English-language version of the song, titled "The Royal Guard", will be released on April 9. The rich 500 years of history is, needless to say, extremely hard to fit into one song, and that is why we mainly focused on the parts and battles that happened during the age of the Swedish Empire. 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. For the past 500 years, they have evolved with the times and served under various kings and queens around the world and are still active today.
One of the oldest military regiments in the world, the Swedish Royal Guard (Livgardet),was formed in the SABATON home region in Sweden, Dalecarlia, in 1521 by the legendary Swedish king Gustav Vasa. "Over the past years, we have been discussing around topics until something obvious came up. "Since 2012 and 'Carolus Rex', we have been looking forward to writing more songs in Swedish, and we felt that we were not done with the history of our fatherland," bassist Pär Sundström explained. The band's first new music since 2019's "The Great War" is a Swedish-language song which honors the Swedish Royal Guards first established in the year 1521. Swedish heavy metal titans SABATON have released the official music video for their new single, "Livgardet".
