Sabaton unveil new lyric video for ‘Sparta’

Swedish power metal heroes SABATON have unveiled a brand new lyric video!

The lyric video is for the track Sparta which is taken from the band’s latest album, The Last Stand, released back in August. Speaking about the track, the band comments, “The battle of Thermopylae is in many ways one of the most iconic last stands in history. King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans were certainly not as alone as portrayed in the famous movie 300, but in the end it was their sacrifice that would be remembered by the world to come. An amazing story of the Greek nation states which would rather die than lose their freedom.”
