Every American rock band-alright guys, we can’t compete with this, Sabaton is officially the king of rock and roll. Sabaton is literally the definition of rock music in my opinion, every song I’ve heard from them is phenomenal, truly a work of art.

Sabaton is indeed one of the top bands in hard rock n metal at the moment, and for a good reason.. such good songwriters. Another band that is now filling arenas whilst soundin straight outta the 70s and 80s but in a fresh way , Ghost. Check out their new album Impera, Spillways and Kaiseron are such great tracks, the whole album sounds so 80s but so fresh. Kaiserion sounds like early 00's mixed with something unknown. Their best album is still Meliora (2015). Best song is Ghost - Faith however.

The king Charles XII of Sweden was a history character that I don't knew until listen Carolus Rex (and meet Sabaton trought this song first), and I found him very interesting, becaming one of my favourite european king. I'm hispanic, and that why I didn't hear it nothing about him before.

One of my favorite events with Charles XII was when he was going to be crowned king at the age of fifteen. Then he was filled with confidence from his father and in the belief that he was sent from heaven. Undoubtedly, Charles took the king's crown from the priest and personally placed it on his head. Convinced that his crown does not come from the church but from heaven instead.

Gustavus Adolphus and Carolus Rex were badass kings to read about, they won many battles against 3-5 times bigger enemy forces. A smaller force that is fearless and utilizing superior and innovative tactics often made much bigger enemy forces just dissolve into chaos of men trying to flee or lay down their arms. The most badass post-viking era Scandinavian kings. The last true warrior kings of Europe of such notoriety

@@sebastian114very flawed tactic in the long run.
