And our new guitarist is….

- We are beyond excited to announce that our former guitarist, Thobbe Englund, is rejoining the band and taking Tommy’s place!
Thobbe originally joined us in April 2012 and decided to leave Sabaton in July 2016 to focus on his personal life and expand his creativity. We, of course, respected his decision and we parted ways amicably. Since then, we have been in constant contact with him over the years - he’s a really good friend to all of us! Eight years later, he’s back and ready to hit the global stage with us once more and we couldn’t be happier about it!
Thobbe recorded two studio albums with us, namely “Heroes” (2014) and “The Last Stand” (2016), and assisted with the songwriting of some of our very popular songs including “Shiroyama” and “Fields Of Verdun”, among others.
As always thank you all for your unending support. It means the world to us. Here’s to a new era for Sabaton!

If he can play "never gonna give you up" live on a concert, he's more than welcome aboard.
Exactly
He's never gonna let us down
I guess Alfred was right. Some men do just want to watch the world burn.
Welcome to sky landers my fella
😂😂
We'll miss you Tommygun... and Thobbe, It is an incredible pleasure to have you with us again. I can already hear ya singing metal triology.❤
wait what happened to Tommy?
@@Archangel71Tommy left Sabaton
He's still not tommy
not by a longshot bruthah!@@TruekingoftheLeinstermen
@@TruekingoftheLeinstermenFrom Tommy's perspective I can understand why he left. He's obviously an incredibly talented singer and being in Sabaton doesn't really give him the chance be a star on his own. He'll be missed but I wish him the best.
As a long time fan of sabaton from the carolus Rex album cycle on this gives me such joy!! I loved Thobbe
I mean he just came to the band after Carolus Rex but yeah :D
Welcome back to Sabaton Family 😃😃🤘🤘🤘
@@daveataway1952 the band gained a lot of popularity with Heroes afaik
That tune made me think of the children's song "you're my sunshine" from my childhood
@@erichschmidt9331 yes funny enough, after Carolud Rex came out it became their most successfull album. Then they changed both guitarists and the drummer (since Par and Joakim really planned to put out big time and the others don't wanted to go along with it. I guess they don't wanted to go on big world tours etc.) and released "heroes" which became an even bigger success
I’ll sincerely miss Tommy in the band but it’s amazing to have Thobbe back.
Exactly!
Exactly! Also I like your profile pic as a gay history nerd myself!
@@WorldWarFanatic1123 good to see another one!
Homosexuals alert!!!!
he'll still be in the BM show at the Fenway Stadium. i hope to see him there and give him my best. from the first time i saw him on youtube during a critical time, i was hooked
Man, this is the best option for who could have replaced Tommy. It'll be familiar, yet new at the same time. LET'S GOOOO!
Cool to see you here!
Love your reactions bro!
This was definitely the best possible outcome
Thobbe is probably the best possible choice you guys could’ve made. Welcome back Thobbe.
So glad to hear that SOMETHING is going Right in 2024!
DONT JINX IT YOU FOOL! But in all serious good luck Tommy and welcome back an old friend
As much as we'll miss Tommy, it's great to see Thobbe back
I must have somehow missed something why is Tommy leaving?
@@SteelCommanderCat he wanted to focus more on his own projects
@@sid_the_flying_gun-nut2149 like his own CZcams channel? I suppose that makes scene but it is sad. thanks
@@SteelCommanderCat(...)As many of you may know, I do a lot of things outside of Sabaton. I play with another band, perform with various artists, and have a career as a singer that I’ve put aside for years to focus on Sabaton. After doing this for seven years, I feel it’s time to start following my heart.
(...)I will never quit playing music. I’ll still be touring with Majestica and other projects, but not on the same level as Sabaton of course. I am sure I will meet you lovely fans on the road again in the future.(...)
@@SteelCommanderCat one of the main reasons is his own band Majestica. Sabaton is a touring machine and that leaves little or no room for Majestica tours/shows. They had to even cancel one tour because it collided with Sabaton's schedule (though there were some other reasons too, but that was the main one). I assume he has some other plans too, we will see
I think this is a win-win situation. Tommy gets to do and persue what he likes and Thobbe get to be back with the band. I wish both the best.
Looking forward to the future but won’t lie, I’m gonna miss Tommy!
Same here! I know Thobbe is an awesome guitar player, after been watching older music videos, live performances, etc. Even so, it will take some time to get used to Tommy not being there.
Same here
Me too😢
I insanely love Tommy, But its not like he's going anywhere just not in sabaton :-))
@@Benjamin-mz1mb I love the things Tommy does, and I really will miss him in Sabaton but also looking forward to what he is up to in the future❣️
This is gonna be an exciting era of sabaton! Welcome back, Thobbe, and good luck to Tommy as he continues his own journey!
I was so upset when Thobbe left.
Tommy was a hell of a group member and musician, now i'm sad he leaves but OMG THOBBE IS BACK LET'S HAVE BEERS
One more beer!
I became a fan during Tommy’s era, but seeing Thobbe back, I know the band are in good hands
Same. Fan when Tommy was on the guitar, but with Thobbe back, it's gonna be bloody fantastic.
Same here. But after listening to stuff pre-Tommy, I know Thobbe is the perfect replacement. But there will still be that Tommy shaped hole in my heart
Welcome back Thobbe! 😃🤘
I only now realise I was a little worried about the new guitar player, but with Thobbe coming back everything feels good again. While I really liked Tommy, I also really liked Thobbe and kinda missed him... So, If Tommy's going, this is the best outcome in my mind!
100% agree on everything you just said
definitely gonna be an amazing era of Sabaton with him
Sabaton is now whole again. welcome back Thobbe. the only thing I wish we could have seen is having Tommy do Vocals on at least one song
It does seem like he was not really used to the fullest, maybe just not the right fit.
I knew it!! I figured Thobbe would eventually come back after he got his solo stuff done. Now it's time for Tommy to get his original stuff done, and his band gets the recognition they've needed then tour with Sabaton!
He's already well on his way to being recognised as one of the greatest vocalists in power metal, so I think he and Majestica will do just fine
@@femoman Absolutely agree!
A Majestica/Sabaton tour would be an instant-buy ticket.
@bv310 US tour with both has to happen. Because I can not remember if Tommy came here with ReinXeed/Majestica.
YES! We need a Sabaton/Majestica tour! Preferably yesterday! 😁
Hell yeah
Let’s goooooo
To HELL YEAH and BACK!
guys will look at this and go "hell yeah"
When I saw what Tommy gets up to on CZcams and then with his other band too, I got suspicion he might develop thoughts of leaving and commented such in one of his posts, stating I hope he doesn't. I was sorry he left but a person can do too much. This news has put a smile on my face this morning.
I knew the second they showed the guitarr! As a lot of you probably know Thobbe is quite famous for being one of rather few guitarr players in power metal to play a Fender Strat!
Awsome to see Thobbe back in Sabaton. Keep creating killer records, and awsome music! Länge leve Sabaton!
i hope tommy comes back NEXT year after his project work is done
@@user-mq5dr1jh5the’s actually wanting to tour with his band and do other things so I say let him do his own thing
THOBBE ENGLUND ON THE GUITAR! 🎸
Thought the same!😀 From that legendary 40:1 live in Wacken.
dont wanna hate but not as good as vocalist as tommy
Excellent! What a choice and a reunion! I'll forever miss Tommy in Sabaton, but at least we know Thobbe and the music is in safe hands. Much love you guys! ❤🤘
Cant wait for the new album!
Yeah
it's probably coming soon, they're probably working on individual songs as of now but I'm confident they can get it done before June 🔥
@@leethestar yeah i hope it.👍
All records of sabaton came out in the same year that they recording, except "The war to end all wars".
I became a fan of Sabaton much later in their career when Thobbe was abscent. But I'm glad an old band member has returned to take Tommy's place. Rock on 🤘
I wish Tommy all well and good luck with his career. He's been a great addition to Sabaton and I will miss him. But at the same time I'm very happy and excited that Thobbe is back. The Man, the Myth, the LEGEND is back home!
Well great information, a piece of new music, and Thobbe is back. I'm waiting for Tour in Europe and for new album
THOBBE❤
Ikr he’s back woooooo
Welcome back, Thobbe. This is the best news. Just great, great, great. And, all the best to Tommy as he forges ahead into new frontiers in his life. Wow. Heavy Metal Family is amazing.
'Tommy gone' makes me sad ... really ... 'Thobbe back' makes my happy ... Welcome back Thobbe ... We've been missing you
Good luck, Tommy, you absolute unit. Thobbe, welcome back home, you madlad!
Tommy will be missed. But hell ya!!🤘
Thats honestly the one thing i regret most, not being able to see Sabaton with Chrobbe together. but i have another chance!!
If Tommy ever becomes a spacial guest during one of Sabaton's tours, I would be very happy for Tommy and the Sabaton crew to play together one more time.
But I will miss Tommy for being part of the group and wish him all the best.
Новое - это хорошо забытое старое. Добро пожаловать обратно, Тобби! Вы очень хороший гитарист, всего вам наилучшего в нынешней группе и творческого потенциала!
Congratulations! Welcome back, Thobbe. Can't wait to hear the new album!
Welcome back Mr. Thobbe. I've only seen you on videos, such as Woodstock Live. It is an honor to finally meet you. We will miss you Mr. Johansonn
Im gonna miss Tommy in the band. Hes such a charismatic guy.
Wish for him the best
❤😢
Man can just barley wait for a song of the new album
I started listening to this band when Tommy was in it so I haven't heard much of Thobbe or seen much with him. So I will always miss not having Tommy in the band. But we welcome Thobbe back to the band.
And now Chrobbe is back, I hope coming up some new vloggs with pranks and funny moment 😁🤙🤟
Can’t wait to hear him play in the new albums
The amount of happiness I just experienced is some of the most happiness I’ve ever experienced… WELCOME BACK!
But I still will always forever miss Tommy
The Last Stand was my first Sabaton Album (and Shiroyama the first Song I heard from them) and I will absolutely enjoy another Album with Thobbe!
YEEESSS, I love and miss Tommy though😉😜🤘
Tommy Johanson, you will be missed, Thobbe welcome back, I'm sure I'm not alone in saying I'm excited to see what you bring again to Sabaton
Great, Thobbe is a cool Guy and guitarplayer👍👍👍
I hope the new album will be release in this year.
Welcome back Thobbe Englund. I've always missed you. Tommy was great too, but I really missed you in the whole Sabaton history and I'm even prouder that you're back. I love it and I love Sabaton. Sabaton has been with me since 2000. Damn, I'm old ❤
I KNEW IT! I was sure it was Thobbe , I'm so glad he's back, but we will miss Tommy
Freaking Awesome can't wait for the Album
Hope it will be out this year yet.🙏
Yay,I hoped it would be Thobbe. So he is replacing his replacement so to speak.
I will dearly miss Tommy but wish him all best wishes for his future endeavours. ❤❤
I’m so happy for you all. ❤❤
Heroes and The Last Stand are still my two favorite albums y'all have released thus far. Loved having you with us Tommy, but I'm stoked to see Thobbe on stage again. Can't wait for the concert in Indianapolis!
Goodluck to Tommy on his future endeavors and welcome back to Thobbe
Goosebumps! What a blast with Thobbe back!
Gonna miss you Tommy!
Welcome back Thobbe and Tommy sadly I didn’t get to see you live in all your glory but u wish you the best of luck with your future career🇧🇪
I wish Tommy all the best and will miss him greatly since i only knew sabaton with Tommy. But non the less i am looking forward to see the (to me) new face.
Welcome back, Thobbe! I'll really miss Tommy, but I'm glad you're back in the band.
I'll definitely miss Tommy, but Thobbe being back is such a nice and pleasant surprise as well.
So sorry to find out Tommy is out of the band. I was stoked when he joined. I guess I am glad the old guy gets to come back, but Tommy was a great addition.
Вот почему-то сразу про него подумал. С возвращением Тоббе ❤🤘
Makes me emotional to see thobbe back gonna miss Tommy but wow im so happy
I'm really excited for the new songs and albums I just cannot wait to that
I’m gonna miss Tommy, but I’m so pumped to have a familiar face back as the successor. Best possible outcome we could’ve asked for!
I cried when I first saw the new about Thobbe coming back 🥹Although I‘ll also miss Tommy
When Tommy's departure was announced, I thought this would be the next best thing to happen. I'm amazed it did! And cool to confirm my suspicion that he plays a scalloped fretboard, it's the first footage I've seen where that's really clear
If it has to be someone other than Tommy, this guy is the man! Very happy to hear about this. Band's unity matters!
Yes, must be like that, nice to see You again Thobbe!
We will all miss Tommy. But I never thought Thobbe would be back! Welcome back Thobbe!
Sad that it was time for change, but thrilled that it's Thobbe coming back!
i always feared Tommy would leave at some point, he is just to good musician to be backup singer and guitarrist, but im very happy Tobbe is back, i was sad when he left, so circkle is complete i guess. Welcome back Tobbe
Nobody better to replace Tommy than Thobbe. Welcome back!
This is possibly the single best way this lineup change could have gone. I am so excited!
Welcome back, Thobbe! And good luck to you, Tommy!
Aww Tommy leaving this is news to me Been a fan of sabaton for very long time. He's Mr busy doing 100 other things haha. Welcome back Thobbe
Definitely going to miss Tommy but having Thobbe back is incredible and I cannot wait to see what they make.
What great news! I will miss Tommy dearly, (well not that much I guess because I'm subscribed to his CZcams) but now I can actually see Thobbe perform live. I know several of my favorite songs were during his era.
A bittersweet feeling, to be sure. Wish all of you guys the best!
THE BEST CHOICE POSSIBLE !!!!! Very happy to see him come back in the mighty Sabaton ! I loved to see him in the Live DVD recorded at Nantes in France. Very good idea ! Welcome back guy !
awesome Thobbe is back on the boat ! can't think of a better man to replace Tommy than the man Tommy himself replaced before 😁
At this point members don't leave Sabaton, they just take turns 😂 I'm soo glad to see a good friend of the band back in action.
Thobbe, varmt välkommen tillbaka, du har varit saknad!
32 Min.
Though I´ll miss Tommy, WHAT GREAT NEWS!!! THOBBE is back, whooohooooo. Welcome back, Thobbe! 🥰
Playing "he went to hell and BACK" for Thobbe is nice detail xD
I did not expect this at all until I heard the words "an old buddy". This is the best outcome possible. Welcome back/Välkommen tillbaka!🤘❤🔥
Awsome news! Glad hes back!! I'll miss Tommy and wish him the best!!
Wishing Tommy the best, I suppose him being also talented singer and everything, he did not was to stay "just the guitarist in a band", and if he can find success and happiness elsewhere (his own band, his youtube channel, etc), we'll be following :)
And it's cool to see Thobbe back! admittedly, I became Sabaton fan during Tommy's era, but I like the old stuff too.. but mainly, for me it's cool to see that a band member can depart on friendly terms (both Thobbe and Tommy) and then come back on friendly terms when the personal situation changes.
Wow I am glad thobba decided to come back. If memory serves me correctly Tommy replaced him and now he's replacing Tommy. It's nice to see a familiar face. Welcome back Thobbe
I became a Sabaton fan when Tommy was already around and I'll miss him a lot, but I'm definitely excited for Thobbe to be back! 🤘
❤ welcome back brother. Give our love to Tommy.
Welcome back good sir.
We love you Tommy, and welcome back thobbe
excellent choice
Sad to see Tommy go, exciting to see Thobbe back. Look forward to hearing what's coming up.
im glad i got to meet Tommy
We're gonna miss tommy but with thobbe it's gonna be amazing
I’m so happy to see Throbbe back!!!
It's great news, since Tommy gets to shine his vocals freely now and we get Thobbe back!
Going to miss Tommy but this is great news!
I have waited for this news. I love that Thobbe is coming back for good....
We will miss you Tommy but welcome back Thobbe!!!!❤❤❤🇸🇪🇫🇮💛💙🤍
let us all hope tommy makes appearances with the band it wont be right imaging seeing thobbe and tommy together in the band too
So happy to see him back!!!
