Metalizer

Metalizer is the third full-length release by Swedish power metal band Sabaton, but was actually recorded as their professional debut album (second overall) in 2002. The band's first record company, Underground Symphony, withheld the recordings for several years before arranging to release the rights to the band's new label Black Lodge Records.[1][2]

The band's first album, the demo compilation Fist for Fight, is included as a bonus disc with a previously unreleased track. Most of the tracks on the first disc are re-recordings from this release.


Metalizer reached 21st place in the Swedish album charts.[3]


In 2010 the album was re-released on German label Nuclear Blast with four bonus tracks, under the name Metalizer Re-Armed.[4]

Disk 2 is the compilation of the two demos of Sabaton. It was originally released as a test of the market in 2000. 600 copies were pressed and they sold out within weeks. In 2001, the compilation was re-released in a digipak edition by Underground Symphony. It was limited to 3000 copies.[7]
