Heroes, the seventh studio album from Swedish power metal battalion Sabaton, came out on Nuclear Blast in May 2014 with a fresh line-up behind singer Joakim Brodén and bassist Pär Sundström: guitarists Chris Rörland and Thobbe Englund and drummer Hannes van Dahl, all making their debut. Peter Tägtgren produced it at Abyss Studios.
Sabaton had built a career out of songs about wars and famous battles, but this time they zoomed in on people, individuals who went beyond the call of duty and put themselves in harm's way for others. The sound is all gallop and grandeur, choirs of chanting voices, soaring keyboards and Brodén barking like a drill sergeant. "To Hell and Back" was the first single, followed by "Resist and Bite", and "Smoking Snakes" salutes the Three Brazilian Heroes, a story Sundström stumbled on while searching for the German word for heroes during his research.
