New Sabaton Album 2019: A Tribute to Fans and the Battle of Verdun

Sabaton's upcoming album, 'The Great War', is a tribute to all fans who have contributed over the years by sending ideas for future songs. As a token of appreciation, the band decided to release 'Fields Of Verdun' as their first single from the new album.

Unlike some other songs in the making, such as 'Bismarck', which didn't fit with the WW1 theme and was recorded at a different time, 'Fields Of Verdun' is deeply rooted in the story of World War I. In fact, Sabaton chose to hold the album presentation in the city of Verdun, inviting journalists from around the world to not only hear the music but also understand the significance behind it.

The story of the Battle of Verdun is a powerful representation of 'The Great War' and its elements, which align perfectly with the overall theme of the album. Pär Sundström, the band's bassist, comments on the choice of 'Fields Of Verdun' as the first single: 'We chose this song because it represents the album perfectly – a classic Sabaton metal song that we cannot wait to include in our future setlists.'

Swedish heavy metal heroes Sabaton are set to release their new album 'The Great War' on July 19th, 2019. The band has been working tirelessly to create an album that honors the memory of World War I and its soldiers. With 'Fields Of Verdun', fans get a taste of what's to come – a powerful, heavy metal tribute to the sacrifices made during the war.
