Sabaton announce ‘The War To End All Wars’ movie

SABATON have announced a special movie!

Set to premiere in 2023, the movie (titled The Wars To End All Wars) will be a full-length musical motion picture featuring songs from the band’s latest studio album, The War To End All Wars, which was released back in February.

The movie vividly tells the stories of World War I by way of animation and live action. It will give the viewer a better understanding of what the band’s songs on the album are about – it is a musical and historical adventure. Currently in post-production, the movie is being made in collaboration with Yarnhub Animation Studio.

Speaking about the project, bassist Pär Sundström says, “we premiered an early version of this movie to journalists during a preview session for our latest album, The War To End All Wars, at the Royal Military Museum in Brussels. Witnessing their reaction to it was priceless – they were speechless – so we decided to take it to the next level and push the boundaries even further for a global audience.”

David Webb of Yarnhub adds, “when SABATON asked us to go beyond anything we had produced before and jointly create a film for their new album, we were filled with excitement and trepidation. It was a massive undertaking that required new people, technology, and skills. But we couldn’t miss the opportunity. We often say our mission is to harvest goosebumps, and our work with SABATON has always been the most successful in that regard. It’s been two years in the making, but after spending many late nights and weekends in meetings with the band, the end result is something unique. A new way to listen to the album; a deeper understanding that helps the viewer experience the bravery and tragedy that was the inspiration for SABATON‘s latest masterwork.”

The War To End All Wars is out now via Nuclear Blast Records.
