In a nutshell, it has a power in chorus, but lacking the edge that invites more attention. Moving onward, “The Unlikable Soldier” is a strong effort that comes across as a rehash of previous material found on The Great War. That said, the song has already gained over three million streams on Spotify…so it is certainly in good stead with listeners. Something not often witness in modern Metal intros, dive bombing guitars open proceedings, and while it might not be the most captivating, it still features the typical elements found in Sabaton’s sound. You have songs like “Stormtroopers” which feature a symphonic guitar driven attack. Another concept piece focusing on war, it’s atrocities, and history, the 11-track album has its peaks and valleys. Released on Friday, Mavia Nuclear Blast, The War To End All Wars was recorded during the worldwide pandemic lockdowns and serves serves as a sequel to Sabaton’s aforementioned The Great War. Now well-seasoned veterans, band return with their tenth overall studio album entitled The War To End All Wars. Together now since 1999, it has been a long journey for Sabaton and over time they have amassed a hardcore following, headlined festival, and steadily risen in popularity. Last offering fans the World War I concept album The Great War back in 2019, it was another chart topping record for the band, and truthfully, a pretty hard act to follow.

It has been three years since fans last heard new music from Swedish Power Metal force Sabaton.
