We still can't believe Australia's first ever Download Festival has come and gone just like that (our coverage here), but we're still in awe of the debut outing down under. If you caught the 'Download Edition' of our Wall of Sound: Up Against The Wall podcast you'd know we caught up with Swedish Power Metallers Sabaton who are some of the nicest and most genuine blokes in the industy.

If you haven't yet, never fear, you can now check out the interview below and see first hand just how great Hannes van Dahl and Tommy Johansson from the band were when they spoke with interviewer Todd Gingell
