Sabaton - New Single Streaming Online


Sabaton recently announced the release of their brand new, 8th studio album, The Last Stand, which will see the light of day on August 19th via Nuclear Blast. Today, the power metal band finally presents the first single from the upcoming battle to their fans. It's the track "The Lost Battalion" and it is streaming online with a lyric video to go with it. Enjoy it below and share your impressions of the material.




The story behind the lyrics: 'The Lost Battalion' is the name given to nine companies of the United States' 77th Division during the battle of the Argonne in 1918. Even though these 550-575 brave men were completely surrounded by the German Army and subjected to friendly artillery fire, they kept on fighting for a week until they were relieved. Of the over 500-plus soldiers who entered the Argonne Forest, only 194 walked out unscathed. The rest were killed, missing, captured, or wounded.

Sounds a bit like Hearts of Iron, to say the least. But I like it. Sometimes I like my metal poppy, like Sabaton

They gave some of their songs as HoI soundtracks.

I like everything, but even so, I think this has merit. Hearts of Iron had a cool new sound to it from most of Sabaton's other work that was till unmistakeably Sabaton. This is like that...and I like that.

The song does sound similar to Hearts of Iron. In addition to the chorus, even the interlude is similar.

See how it sings like a sad heart
And joyously screams out its pain
Sounds that build high like a mountain
Or notes that fall gently, like rain.

Is every song they write - variation of the same fucking song?
