The Last Stand 2LP

Sabaton's eighth album keeps working the concept they started on 2014's Heroes, one historic last stand per song, seen from inside the battle. 'Sparta' takes on Thermopylae, there's the Scottish stand at Bannockburn, and the WWI 'Lost Battalion' gets its own track, all of it produced by Peter Tägtgren at The Abyss in Sweden. It topped the charts at home and in Finland, went gold in five countries, and lands here a decade later pressed on marble vinyl.
