SABATON The Last Stand CD/DVD (2016)

Sabaton write songs about battles most people only half-remember from high school history, and somehow make you feel every single casualty.

The Last Stand, released in 2016, is the Swedish power metal institution at peak form, working through some of history's most brutal last stands, from the Swiss Guard's final defence of the Vatican to the Battle of Thermopylae. Joakim Broden delivers the kind of chest-beating melodic metal performance that makes you want to read a Wikipedia article at full volume. This CD/DVD edition includes the album plus visual content for the kind of fan who wants the full experience. If you think power metal is cheese, Sabaton are the reason that argument falls apart.

CD/DVD edition of the 2016 full-length album. Sweden, power metal.
