For those who prefer their power metal to be a little on the dark side, please welcome BLOODBOUND back to Sabaton Open Air.

This hard-working Swedish band has released eight studio albums in 12 years, blending uplifting power chords with slightly more sinister lyrical themes.

The band takes its name from the ancient custom of cutting the hands to become blood brothers, creating a bond that would last a lifetime – very much like the bonds created by metal music today!
