SABATON

Release Year: 2016
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: epic thunderous power heavy metal

energetic in delivery and epic in approach, the concept album number eight is a majestic collection of dramatic songs with touching stories based on historic and quite fatal last battles that happened during different periods in history yet with an impressive legend behind every one of them - hooky and easy recognizable music is on par with the formulaic back catalogue of Sabaton, unless maybe more consistency and focus packed in pumped-up choruses, making it one more grandiose album by notorious Swedes, brimming with memorable sing-along anthems, also opening up in full force during live shows of the band; limited gatefold sleeve double black 45rpm vinyl edition comes with two bonus covers on side D - Stan Ridgway Camouflage and Judas Priest All Guns Blazing
