Brodén founded Sabaton in 1999 with bassist Pär Sundström;[5] he is the lead vocalist and keyboardist[6] and an occasional third guitarist.

[citation needed] In 2015, Brodén lost a bet with his bandmates that committed him to travelling to Sabaton's next gig on foot; he had not realized their next engagement was in Trondheim, Norway, some 350 miles (560 km) away.

[11][12][13][14] On 26 November 2016, Brodén entered the Český slavík singing competition in the Czech Republic and was voted into fifth place with 9,286 points.

[15] The next year he entered again, but was removed from the competition due to a new rule that competitors had to primarily perform in the Czech Republic.
