Sabaton is a very tight band, their musicianship and production are top class and if you have seen their live shows, you will know that this is not just limited to their recorded work. The song is epic, haunting, and triumphant, the narration tells the tale accompanied by a driving riff and an epic solo as well as some massive drumming from van Dahl.

The album starts with narration, giving you an overview of the theme of “Sarajevo”. ‘The War To End All Wars” is no exception to this. The current lineup includes drummer Hannes van Dahl, and guitarists Chris Rörland and Tommy Johansson.Īs an avid fan of all things history-related, I find Sabaton extremely interesting and enjoy the perspective they put on the events they retell as well as their awesome music. They have had a few lineup changes over the years, with vocalist Joakim Brodén and bass player Pär Sundström the only two original members remaining.

Listening to Sabaton is a history lesson in itself. They have an impressive back catalog of releases, largely based on historic war events.
