Furthermore, the album has been mastered by Maor Appelbaum and the artwork was once again created by Peter Sallaí. “This is not the first time we sing about stories from this period in time, but now we felt the timing was right to make a full concept album about this war”, the band comments. In addition, SABATON posted this trailer revealing more details about the amazing artwork – watch it above. Side by side with the album, the Swedes have worked hard to make their 20th year anniversary a very exciting year, and also started the SABATON History Channel – a unique collaboration between the band themselves and multimedia historians Indy Neidell and Timeghost, capturing the power of social media to tell stories about the wars, battles and heroes behind SABATON’s songs. Subscribe to the YouTube channel via this link: “This is the biggest album we have taken on so far, there is so much depth and story around the songs that we never had before”, Pär Sundström announces. “Expect many surprises as we have tried new things and we also went back in time to a concept we know a lot of you love. The Great War has been created side by side with the Sabaton History Channel to make 2019 the most exciting year in our 20 year history.” Many more live shows will be announced shortly, but take your chance to see SABATON perform their new battle hymns during their summer festival run at one of these dates (including the band’s very own annual SABATON OPEN AIR in their hometown Falun): SABATON live 2019 – get your tickets here: https://www.sabaton.net/tour/ 04.05.
