Sabaton splits?

[Wyvern]

A rumor has started that the band has split, leaving only the singer and the bass player.

The link I found sadly connect to a Swedish site with no translation

http://www.dt.se/nojekultur/1.4554687-nu-spricker-sabaton

Nothing has appeared in their Facebook or the official website tho'.

If true, very sad news as the band is going to release "Carolus Rex" in May, and I've been following since the demo and luckily saw them live in 2009, being today one of my top five bands.

I have read that "translated news" before, I meant I would like more info from a reliable source.

Since the band hasn't jump to deny anything, my guess is a lawyers thingy.

I know the composition will not suffer as Broden is the main composer, but still hurts since the line-up has been together since the demo (except for the keyboardist who jumped later in the band).

Unless they are planning the biggest April's Fool prank this was it...

If you ask me, it was too fast a change. This didn't came overnight at all like the media appears to show.

Anyway, let's see how well did the new line-up will work.

And guess this is the final note on the subject, and now to a new start. "Carolus Rex" is coming!
