Swedish power metal act of Sabaton, have revealed that their 2012 album Carolus Rex, has reached quadruple platinum status in their home country Sweden. Which is the bands current biggest release to date. The album has become one of Sweden’s most successful homegrown rock albums of all time. Bass player Pär Sundström says:
Over the past few years we’ve been traveling around the world to perform, while expanding Sabatons empire into new countries and meeting incredible new fans along the way. There’s no place like home though, and it’s humbling to know that people in our native Sweden are still so amazingly supportive of us after all these years. Thank you to everyone who played a role in making Carolus Rex one of the most successful Swedish rock albums ever!
Because of the success of the release, and to honor the Swedish king who inspired it, the band will be releasing a special 300th anniversary edition on November 30, 2018 which is also the same date that Carolus Rex was killed in Norway. Pre-orders are currently available via Nuclear Blast Records.
