Sabaton: Carolus Rex





Published exactly 33 days ago new album of Sabaton  is a kind of a biography of most prominent Swedish kings and generals. It reveals reign of monarchs, their will that created Swedish Empire and after all their great collapse. It is a priceless deal of knowledge about turn of the XVIth and XVIIth century.

This chapterof history is located just before the treshold of a new era. Seems to be prequel of a dawn of turning day that will come soon. It includes stories about battles (Battle of Poltava, Battle of Breitenfeld), memorable characters (Charles XII of Sweden, Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden) and finally great ideas about commandering the war (revolutionary tactics and their impact on war created by  Gustavus Adolphus).

  1.  Dominium Maris Baltici (0:29)
  2.  The Lion From the North  (4:43)
  3. Gott Mit Uns  (3:16)
  4. A Lifetime of War  (5:45)
  5. 1648  (3:55)
  6. The Carolean's Prayer"  (6:14) 
  7. Carolus Rex"  (4:54)
  8. Killing Ground  (4:25)
  9. Poltava  (4:04)
  10. Long Live the King  (4:10) 
  11. Ruina Imperii  (3:24) 
  12.  Bonus track
    1. In the Army Now (3:59) or
    2.  Twilight of the Thunder God* (3:59)
Total length: 49:18

As a brief summary of this note, I would like to present one special track that I have carefully chosen for you to represent the style of  music included in this album proudly released by the Sabaton. And the very ending would be paraphrase of one of the titles: Gott mit Ihnen !






* Depends on CD version (american includes  In the Army Now  and european includes  Twilight of the Thunder God). There is also an exclusice 2 CD version (1000 copies released).
