Sabaton History
Published on 18 Jul 2019The Sabaton song “Long Live the King” is about the aftermath of the Battle of Poltava in June 1709. The future of Sweden lay in the hands of the parliament at home while the King was in voluntary exile with the Ottomans. What followed was a dark time in Swedish history where everything was uncertain, with an unexpectedly dark ending.

THREE MORE NIGHTS! I think that most of you expected this episode to be from the new album that will be released next Friday, but as we all like a little unexpected Sabaton every now and then, we went with the 18th century instead. While we (of course) will continue with these videos, it feels like we have been working towards the 19th of July ever since we started this channel in February this year. Thank you all for being a part of this journey! We mean it when we say that this wouldn’t have been possible without all of you who watch our videos and especially those who support us on Patreon!
