Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

There are few groups like Sabaton, ones to whom are willing, or indeed able to look at history’s most decisive moments, those that submit a kind of behind the scenes sense of delivery of the people at the heart of any struggle for freedom, or perhaps those whose sense of destiny was that of conquest wrapped in the false paint of glory and the desperation of subterfuge and reckoning, and in all fairness the group do it with extreme cool and a style that holds the world of power metal enthralled.
