SABATON have been awarded the ‘Englighter of the Year Award 2022 (Årets Folkbildare 2022)’ by The Swedish Skeptics Association (Vetenskap och Folkbildning), making them the first ever rock band to receive this prestigious accolade.

The ‘Enlightener of the Year Award’ is an annual title that began in 1987. It is traditionally presented to academics, authors, journalists and media outlets that go above and beyond what is expected in order to educate people.
