Sabaton was formed back in 1999 in Falun, Sweden when the members of a band called Aeon reformed and rearmed for the upcoming first recording in Moon Music Studio. The founding members of Aeon: Rikard, Pr and Daniel Mullback had joined forces with Oskar and Joakim earlier during the year which had seen a few line-up changes and the guys decided on a fresh start and changed the name of the band to Sabaton.
