In early 2005, just before the album was released, Daniel Myhr was recruited into the band to relieve Joakim of his keyboard duties and the band was now complete.
The band signed up with the label Black Lodge later that year and in 2005 “Primo Victoria” was released Without the support of a record label Sabaton returned to Abyss studios and Tommy Tägtgren and recorded the album “Primo Victoria” which loosely translated means: The first victory, or: The beginning of the victory.Ī fitting name, considering it represents a new beginning for the band and also marks the start of the typical war themed Sabaton lyrics.
In 2004, after countless hours of rehearsals and dozens of shows the band got tired of waiting for the release of “Metalizer” that never came and decided to take matters into their own hands. When 2002 arrived the band returned to Abyss studios and Tommy Tägtgren to record the debut album “Metalizer” that was to be released later that year, but didn’t end up in the record stores until 5 years later. In 2001 the band was ready to record more material, and this time they turned to Tommy Tägtgren who were to play a part in the creation of the Sabaton sound, and together they recorded the second half of the bands demo compilation “Fist For Fight” that was released by Underground Symphony later that year. These are the same guys you see on stage today. The founding members of Aeon: Rikard, Pär and Daniel Mullback had joined forces with Oskar and Joakim earlier during the year which had seen a few line-up changes and the guys decided on a fresh start and changed the name of the band to Sabaton. Sabaton was formed back in 1999 in Falun, Sweden when the members of a band called “Aeon” reformed and rearmed for the upcoming first recording in Moon Music Studio.
