Sabaton have released a new single, a cover of Manowar’s ‘Kingdom Come’, as a tribute to the American metal heroes and a video game collaboration.
“Our fans have spoken. YOU requested the release of this song everywhere, so this is for all of you!” Pär Sundström, co-founder of SABATON and bass player, states “This recording was meant to be a tribute to Manowar and a collaboration with a video game bearing the same name, when we recorded it a few years ago. We are happy to see that you appreciate the song so much, and we have paid attention to your wishes and requests. You asked for it, you got it!”
Prior to its release on August 27, the limited Black/Red Spot 12″ Vinyl became a popular collector’s item with high scarcity value, all 666 copies were sold out within days. The EP includes ‘Metal Trilogy’, a medley of three Sabaton songs: ‘Metal Ripper’, ‘Metal Crüe’ and ‘Metal Machine’.
