The Last Stand is the 8th studio album by Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton. It was produced by Peter Tägtgren in the Abyss Studios in Sweden and released on 19 August 2016. Like Sabaton's previous album Heroes, The Last Stand is a concept album and takes inspiration from "last stand" military battles. On 10 June 2016 the first single "The Lost Battalion" was released, followed by "Blood of Bannockburn" on 15 July and "Shiroyama" on 12 August. A lyric video for the title track was released on 25 January 2018.
In 2021, Sabaton released a special History Channel Edition of the album to subscribers to the Sabaton History Patreon, featuring historical prefaces to each song by channel host Indy Neidell. The version had originally been planned for April 2020, but it and the History Channel Edition of Heroes suffered production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and label Nuclear Blast's purchase by Believe Digital. The albums finally shipped to subscribers on 25 June 2021.
