Our first (but not last!) Sabaton CD

The moment when my husband and I became aware of Sabaton, we will probably never forget. We were sitting in the car, as an interesting, to join in welcoming whistling could be heard, the transferred quickly into a metal song and then it went back. That was the first time that I was happy about the Shazam app, because we had two quickly became clear that the other this song will also have, he is with his melody in an expressive metal but a rare intersection between our musical tastes.

Hardly at home, it was so, to order the CD and downloading the already available single "To Hell and Back". A little later, we both sat there, had a catchy tune, but knew we had a new band for us found in common, not the back is far behind the previous favorite Iron Maiden.

At a catchy then also followed a little later so some more, because much of the power metal songs on this album is despite the force Sabaton stuck in their instruments, very catchy. There does not have to be "The Ballad of Bull", which are some ballad on the album, also "resist and Bite" and "Night Witches" or "Inmate 4859" catchy guarantors.

Sabaton convince us not only with their music, the lyrics and especially their background creates goosebumps. Here I must now turn to an accusation that Sabaton is often made, but which is not tenable: The band glorified on this album (on any!) No wars, they only reported moments of history, we should know all those their significance but was previously denied. Who knows Witold Pilecki, the Chasseurs Ardennais or Lauri Törni who were with their inserts may not be decisive for the war, but important for the lives of several people and our current knowledge of the events of World War II ?!
My husband disappeared the way with this CD, the lyrics and a lexicon and was to complete the research accessible through encyclopedias information about the background not seen ...

We have only two questions about this album, which I freely admit five stars and full conviction:
1. How Sabaton come on the idea to their lyrics, which of them researched for hours unknown war story?
2. Why are there (except two festivals) no concert dates in Germany?

Update: Now there are some concert dates! Sabaton come in January and February, among other things to Oberhausen, Ludwigsburg, Hamburg and Berlin. Tickets are probably soon (June 22.)
