Sabaton release new music video for ‘The Attack Of The Dead Men’

SABATON have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Attack Of The Dead Men, is taken from the Swedish power metal giant’s latest studio album, The Great War, which was released last year.

The song tells the story of Osowiec Fortress and a battle during World War 1 where the forces of imperial Germany used chlorine gas against the Russian defenders who had no protection against gas and had to wrap wet clothes around their faces in desperation. They were not expected to survive and that is why their counter attack was so surprising and successful. Wrapped in bloody cloth and coughing blood, they charged and the legend of the attack of the dead men was born.

Speaking about the new music video, bassist Pär Sundström says, “the video features SABATON wearing gas masks while performing The Attack Of The Dead Men during our latest European tour. Little could we imagine that today a huge amount of the world’s population would wear masks daily thanks to this fucking virus that has paralyzed our beloved metal community. We miss doing this, we miss you… no livestream can ever replace the feeling of being in the audience for a metal concert.”
