'I remember the first time Joakim showed me the Rise Of Evil and I said that was the best Sabaton song ever. Maybe we'll include it on a future DVD and make a complete fools out of ourselves.' / Joakim It's on video, and quite a bizzare sight. I clearly remember that the lack of sleep affected our humor so much, that one night when a cheap keyboard demo-song was triggede by mistake while we were trying to sleep, and Rikard started singing along we all burst out laughing and singing along ourselves for 30 minutes. The sound of the album does not differ much from Primo Victoria, the differences is rather in the songwriting and the atmosphere which is quite different in a subtle way. I really think this album has something no other Sabaton album has, but the problem is that I can't seem figure out what it is. When you're tired as hell, it's pitch black outisde, and the temperature stays below -25 degrees Celsius, you don't have to dig deep to find the evil within to make the song even more sinister.

I personally think that we would not have been able to complete this album without the lessions learned during Primo Victoria recording and a sinister song like Rise Of Evil really benefited from being recorded under such circumstances. Nobody got killed and what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, right? We had fun as hell though, even though our patience was wearing thin at times from lack of sleep and exhaustion. Songs like Back In Control was completed composition wise way past midnight one night, and Daniel had to lay down the drums the first thing in the morning, after only 40 minutes of reharsal and 3 hours or so of sleep. We were all very anxious about being able to create a worthy sucessor to Primo Victoria and that pushed us beyond what we thought was possible in terms of recording marathons and nighttime rehearsals. The deadline was set very tight, but our amazing engineer Tommy TР“В¤gtgren worked around the clock at times and somehow we managed to complete the album without making any compromises except sacrificing sleep in favor of rehearsing and recording. We had our first major european tour as a support for Edguy and Dragonforce coming up, which left us with about 3 weeks to record, mix and master the album, and on top of that, we had to rehearse for the tour simultaneously and teach a replacement keyboarder our songs, since Daniel couldn't get time off his work. 'We started recording this album right after the New Year's celebrations in early 2006, and we really had to be quick. MY MEMORIES FROM THE RECORDING OF ATTERO DOMINATUS The album was re-released in 2010 on Nuclear Blast Records with three bonus tracks after the band signed a deal with them.The bandmembers quit their jobs after recording this album to fully focus on Sabaton.The only keyboard track actually played by Myhr on the album is for the In The Name Of God.Myhr's tape recorder for his synthesizer broke down during the recording session for the album, the keyboard parts had to be played by Joakim because Daniel couldn't get off his work to fix his equipment.The master tapes were finished just an hour before the band got to the airport for the tour.The album was recorded in a hurry, because of their upcoming first major european tour with Dragonforce and Edguy.Not every song (around 50%) from the Primo Victoria session was finished at the time of recording that album, so the band had to put extra focus to finish and polish the remaining compositions for this release.Initially, the band planned to release a double disc album as their debut, because they had so much written material from Primo Victoria session, but the band's then label Black Lodge Records, refused.The phrase 'Attero Dominatus' comes from latin and means 'destroy tyranny', which refers to the song of the same title about the capture of Berlin in 1945 and the fall of the Third Reich.
