SABATON: 'Live At The Front' DVD Delayed

February 13, 2008

Swedish metallers SABATON have had the release date of their DVD, "Live at the Front", postponed to the end of 2008 from the previously announced late February. According to the group, "there are several reasons for this but the main cause is that the quality of the recording was not sufficient to release as a main feature as well as the collision with the making of the new album which required all attention of the band. We tried very hard to make a great DVD but with the material we had it was simply not possible. The entire recording and mixing were filled with a lot of problems, including that our tour bus broke down in Germany which delayed us and prevented us to make all necessary preparations in Antwerp. This resulted in a product not as good as we want it to be! The show is still fantastic, crowd is amazing and every time we see it we get tears in our eyes so we just cannot let it go to waste. But to make our first DVD a full worthy SABATON release we decided to make a new recording. This time in our hometown on Rockstad: Falun the 14th of June where we have all necessary time to make preparations plus that the show will really be something special. We will still keep all footage from Hof Ter Lo and all other bonus material collected for this release and make it a really cool DVD to be released in the future. A DVD that will be worthy the best fans in the world. We hope you all will have understanding of this and that you, like we do, focus on the new SABATON album."

SABATON entered Abyss Studios last month with producer Peter TÃĪgtgren to begin recording their new album, entitled "The Art of War". The follow-up to 2006's "Attero Dominatus" will be released on May 30 via Black Lodge Records.
