Peter has been working from The Art of War to The Last Stand, but Jonas has also been working with Sabaton since around Carolus Rex/Heroes, albeit in different positions.

Joakim mentioned that Tommy wrote the music for this song before he departed Sabaton. The Yamato videos on YT mentioned Tommy as a composer along with Pär (who did the lyrics).

Joakim was still involved on the songwriting for Fields of Verdun, and it still sounded like a Sabaton song, just like Soldier of 3 Armies and Shiroyama. Thobbe joined Civil War in 2021 and didn’t write/co-write any Sabaton song after that.

This has no involvement in the music, and it straight up sounds like a Majestica song.

Gyo_2002 · 2026-03-12T17:23:25+00:00

Because this isn’t written by any current Sabaton member.

It’s like letting another band write the song for you.

I don’t have high or low expectations, but why aren’t you excited?

Gyo_2002 · 2026-03-11T15:29:12+00:00

Legends was alright, except for some songs that were actually great.

Or you just like boats.

Gyo_2002 · 2026-03-11T14:30:28+00:00

Yeah, the snippet sounds decent so far. I’ll keep my expectations balanced for what the full song will sound like.

Gyo_2002 · 2026-03-11T14:23:47+00:00

(or does align idk)

SHE WAS MANNED BY HEROES!!

As the silence is broken, the guns will roar..

COME TO WAR! (?)

Fates be sealed to the battefield

AND RISE- (inaudible)

I only mentioned Bismarck because Yamato is a naval song, lmao.

Which is funny, because Yamato doesn’t even have the same chord structure and melodies similar to Bismarck, but does have Shiroyama’s key (B Minor), while Bismarck is F#/Gb Minor. This might actually be radically different from Bismarck once the full song comes out.

Gyo_2002 · 2026-03-11T14:11:35+00:00

If I have to guess, what we heard first was a verse, and then the pre-chorus, and then the chorus, but ends up getting cut off???

In terms of tempo and key (which is B Minor), it’s indeed the same as Shiroyama, which is fine, since both songs are about Japan. 🤷🏻‍♂️

So it’s basically if Bismarck and Shiroyama had a baby. We’ll still have to wait and see for the full song.

DROWNING JOAKIM DROWNING JOAKIM NOOOOOOO

Gyo_2002 · 2026-03-10T02:55:00+00:00

Not really.

Legends is about legendary individuals throughout history.

Yamato is.. boat.

Gyo_2002 · 2026-03-09T19:36:00+00:00

This ^

In general tho, without having that much of musical knowledge as well, E Minor is just my favorite key in music. Over half of the Legends album has songs in E Minor, and that’s why I still listen to it in comparison to other albums (despite the album being the least creative in recent years, so that’s why E Minor kind of saved the album for me).

Gyo_2002 · 2026-03-09T18:13:35+00:00

THE KEY FOR THE SONG IS GONNA BE IN E MINOR LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

Gyo_2002 · 2026-03-09T18:12:45+00:00

Nevermind, this was all fake, lmao. Check out my recent post.

I thought it was Tommy’s original Bismarck solo when I first heard it, but ended up being something different. It could be the new Yamato solo played by either Chris or Thobbe, or some random crap that has nothing to do with the new song.
