Started in 1999, @Sabaton are a Swedish band focused on military history. With 9 studio albums already out, and with plenty of headlining world tours already under their belt, the band is getting ready to release The War to End All Wars, their 10th studio album, and the second that focuses exclusively on the First World War.
I met with guitarist Chris Rörland to discuss all about this great album, as well as:
- Replacing Manowar at Hellfest
- Playing in occupied Crimea
- Joining Sabaton
- And more!

Some of the topics I reference are from an interview I did with Pär about The Great War. You can check it here: https://www.metalblast.net/interviews...

The Midi "Gott Mit Uns" section was taken from a video made by @TheHungarianCoverist (   • Sabaton - Gott Mit Uns Synthesia Pian...  )
