Swedish metallers SABATON are currently at work on their eighth album and follow-up to 2012′s Carolus Rex at HYPOCRISY/PAIN legend Peter Tägtgren’s Abyss Studios.
Entitled Heroes, the new album will be released on May 16th via Nuclear Blast. The cover artwork for Heroes was created by Péter Sallai. An alternate version of the cover can be viewed below.
“We had the title in mind since before we even recorded Carolus Rex and we already had ideas for artwork years ago. We had a few different ones to choose from, but when we saw this one, we knew it was the right one for this album”, says bassist Pär Sundström.
