Sabaton have joined forces with Apocalyptica for a new reworked version of “Angels Calling.” You can check out an official video for that below. It’s also worth noting that Apocalyptica are planning to join Sabaton onstage during their upcoming tour for several newly arranged songs.

Sabaton’s Pär Sundström commented:

“‘Angels Calling’ was the first song we wrote on the topic of World War 1 for the ‘Attero Dominatus’ album back in 2006, and together with Apocalyptica, we have really given the song a new life. Due to the song’s topic, our recent album, the upcoming tour and a great demand from fans, the song is now back on the setlist for the tour.

The song’s arrangement was made in August, when Apocalyptica visited our hometown Falun to perform at the Sabaton Open Air festival. It was recorded in Black Lounge studios by Jonas Kjellgren and the Apocalyptica parts were later recorded in Finland.

Richard Erixon, our longtime video producer, captured the best moments from the rehearsals in Falun and edited it into a music video for the song.

We wanted this tour to offer something that we have never done before, and when I attended an Apocalyptica show in Madrid a few years ago I already had a strong vision to perform together, so I explained the idea to Apocalyptica and here we are, with the best show we have ever done.”
