Sabaton release new music video for ‘The First Soldier’

SABATON have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The First Soldier, is the brand new single from the Swedish power metal band and is taken from their new EP, Heroes Of The Great War (the follow-up to last year’s EP Weapons Of The Modern Age and The War To End All Wars) which is available now.

Speaking about the new single, bassist Pär Sundstrom says, “we are really excited to be releasing a new song with this EP and we are eager to see how people respond to the incredible story behind it. The song is about Albert Severin Roche, a World War I hero who believed he was destined for great things. And despite the doubts of his peers and the odds being stacked against him, he achieved the unbelievable.”

Remarking on the concept of the new EP, Sundstrom adds, “those involved in conflict and war push themselves beyond their limits, both physically and psychologically, and often achieve extraordinary things. They have no choice but to be brave and have no option but to do everything they can to protect what they are fighting for. Humans are programmed for survival, and some of these heroes’ tales that we write about are jaw dropping. This EP is our tribute to them and our way of ensuring that these stories are not forgotten and get the recognition they deserve.”
