(born 13 August 1979 in Luleå) is a Swedish multi-instrumentalist, composer, and singer who also works as a sound engineer and music producer. He has been active as a solo artist since 2006. Englund achieved his greatest fame as the guitarist of the heavy metal band Sabaton, which he joined in 2012. He left in 2016 to spend time with his family and pursue a solo career. He returned to Sabaton in 2024 and is currently the lead guitarist of the band. Additionally, he provides backing vocals and occasionally takes on lead vocals for Sabaton.
Englund grew up in Lappträsk in the municipality of Haparanda on the Finnish border and has Finnish ancestors. At the age of six he was given a small Casio keyboard. He got his first guitar as a gift at the age of 10. At first, he used the instrument more as a leisure activity, but soon, he grew the desire to spend more time with it and he practiced guitar eight hours a day. As his greatest influence as a guitarist, Englund cites mainly Yngwie Malmsteen, but also Ritchie Blackmore, Joe Satriani, Kee Marcello and Gary Moore.
Endomorph was Thobbe's first band which he founded at the age of 14 with his friend Tony Erkkilä. The band had some demos but was put on hold since Thobbe saw a music video of Yngwie Malmsteen in Swedish television and changed his musical direction.
Thorbjörn, Tony and two other buddies Erik Tornberg (bass) and Hussni Morsare (guitars, vocals) founded Winterlong in 1998. It was this project, that Thobbe got recognized for the first time. In Winterlong, Thorbjörn had been a lead guitarist, bassist and from 2006, a vocalist. The project released a total of four albums from 2001 to 2006. The same...
The power/gothic metal band was created by Stella Tormanoff, then girlfriend of Thobbe Englund and has featured members from Bulgaria, Finland, Greece and Sweden. The band has released two albums, Faithbringer in 2001, Your True Self in 2004 on which Thobbe played guitar.
Englund has also been a member of Pavlovian Dogs (another band founded by Stella Tormanoff).
From 2009 to 2010, he was the bassist of Swedish industrial metal band Raubtier, in which Pär Hulkoff sings and plays guitar, who was also involved in Winterlong for a short time. Because Sabaton split up in 2012, Pär Sundström called Pär Hulkoff with the intention of getting him as a guitarist for Sabaton, but Hulkoff declined due to his own band....
After meeting Joakim Brodén and Pär Sundström in Stockholm, Englund became part of the band in April 2012. Until his departure on 25th July 2016, besides guitar duties in the band, he also provided live backing vocals and lead vocals in one of the verses in Gott Mit Uns. He recorded two studio albums with Sabaton (Heroes, The Last Stand), for which he co-wrote three tracks (Soldier of 3 Armies, Shiroyama, The Last Battle). He also provided lead vocals on Judas Priest cover "All Guns Blazing" which was released as a bonus track on The Last Stand. Regarding his exit, Englund commented as follows:
After his departure, he was replaced by Tommy Johansson.
“Words can’t express how ready and how excited I am to jump back into Sabaton. It feels like I was on a short holiday. The time is right, love is in the air and the best is yet to come!” //Thobbe
“This is a full circle moment for Sabaton and we are beyond excited to have Thobbe rejoin the band. He’s a talented guitarist, songwriter and a kind guy who we have a lot of fun with. We didn’t even need to hold auditions with other guitar players. All that was needed was to spend New Year's Eve together to know that the time was right for Thobbe´s return.” //Pär
//Joakim
“Who? Thobbe f***ng Englund, that’s who! The man is back! I’m happy to once again share the stage with one of my best friends! Welcome back brother!” //Hannes
In 2015 he performed as a guest musician with Orphan Gypsy at Wacken Open Air and played "Wasted Years" by Iron Maiden with the band.
On his solo albums "From the Wilderness" and "Before the Storm", released in 2015 and 2016, he played all the instruments himself.
Since his departure from Sabaton, he mainly focused on his solo career.
He has been playing live rhythm guitar with Swedish heavy metal band Bloodbound since 2017.
Englund likes to incorporate instrumental pieces into his albums. "From the Wilderness" was even purely instrumental, except for the bonus track "Fingerspitzengefühl".
With Tommy Johansson, Hannes Van Dahl and Chris Rörland he played various covers in the band The Last Heroes on Sabaton Open Air in 2017 and 2018.
Because Englund never wore underwear under the camouflage pants that are part of Sabaton's live attire, in 2014 one of his pants ripped near the end of a performance at the livestreamed Dreamhack festival in Sweden, exposing his penis. Englund went on to perform the show.
