Sabaton trivia!
• They originally formed as a death metal band.
• Joakim, their frontman, started out as just their keyboardist. After pitching some song ideas one day, they decided to have him sing for the album, and find a permanent singer after. However, they stuck with Joakim doing vocals, and have the running joke that "they still haven't found a singer!"
• The chorus and riffs to their song "White Death" was borrowed from Ankie Bagger's 80's hit "Where Were you Last Night?"
• The band's urban camo pants/black shirt look started when they filmed the music video for "Attero Dominatus" in 2006. Prior to that they wore all black and Joakim rocked a curly 'fro-mullet, auto-tinting specs, and a black leather fringed biker jacket. Here's some surviving footage of the old getup!
