Can't wait for this release. Great band, also a great live band.

I have not listened this band yet, but seems interesting. How many albums they have released in the past? Any recommendations?

They have 4 albums my favorite being Primo Victoria.

Really good and Heavy, very original in their sound IMO.

 

[Trans-Siberian Outcast]

Agreed, Primo Victoria is my fave as well, but I don't know how "original" they are. They remind me of early Running Wild with some symphonic stuff mixed in instead of pirate themes. Also, their albums are very similar, they don't like to stray much from their beaten path. Primo might have been their pinnacle, as Attero Dominatus was more of the same, but not quite written as well IMO.

I am anxiously awaiting the new Wolf to see if they can top Black Flame, but I'm not expecting much more out of Sabaton than I've already heard.

They have actually 3 albums

1) the debut/demo "Fist For Fight"
2) "Primo Victoria" (their best)
3) "Attero Dominatus"

"Metalizer" which originally was intended as 2nd album are basically the same songs from FFF, when finally was released it came with FFF as bonus disc. Since the original demo is hard to find I guess you can go with "Metalizer" if you want to have all their stuff.
