Today the eagerly awaited new studio album by Swedish war chroniclers SABATON finally sees the day: “The War To End All Wars” is out NOW. Highly acclaimed by the international media, the tenth masterpiece from the Swedish metal force is determined to rock the world to its foundations and usher in a new era in the band’s remarkable career.
The band says:
“With our last album, The Great War, we realized that we had only scratched the surface when it came to the powerful stories of courage and bravery, as well as the horrors of World War I. Fans were reaching out to us and telling us these amazing stories from World War I that none of us had ever heard of before Incredible human stories like the British and German soldiers who laid down their arms on Christmas Eve 1914 to share a moment of peace and reconciliation right on the battlefield; or the brave soldiers who fought in the white war some 12,000 feet up in the alps who froze to death and whose bodies remain under the snow to this day these are great stories regarding everyday people who were willing to give their lives for something that To combine these true stories with loud, bleeding, bone-tingling heavy metal? add a second chapter to one of history’s most frightening and liberating times? Why shouldn’t we do this album?”
To celebrate the release, SABATON release a video for their fourth single “Race To The Sea”. “Race To The Sea” is a song regarding Albert of Belgium’s decision during WW1 to flood the last part of Belgium and use water to prevent all of Belgium from falling into German hands.
