Sabaton - Heroes (Indie Exclusive, Petrol Colored LP Vinyl)

Sabaton's breakthrough album Heroes was originally released in 2014. Musically, the album struck the metal scene like a fighter aircraft from the clear sky. After serving some ultra-catchy, more traditional Sabaton epics, this Falun-quintet dives into more unprecedented territory with songs such as powerful "The Ballad of Bull," Western-movie themed "To Hell and Back" and guitar-driven "Resist and Bite" - the latter one being some of the most up-to-date performances on the endlessly vibrant album.

As a whole, Heroes serves up a 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 and Sabaton's longtime guardian angel Peter Tägtgren. Heroes definitely introduced Sabaton more varied and dynamically wider than ever before, but at the same time, the fresh-sounding record still possesses every imaginable element that you may expect from these heroic northmen.
