As if we weren’t already excited enough about Sabaton’s re-appearance on these shores next year, they’ve just released the track listing for The Last Stand and a lyric video for the song “The Lost Battalion” (scroll to the bottom).
As ever, the lyrics are based on actual events and the story of “The Lost Battalion” is this:
‘The Lost Battalion’ is the name given to nine companies of the United States’ 77th Division during the battle of the Argonne in 1918. Even though these 550-575 brave men were completely surrounded by the German Army and subjected to friendly artillery fire, they kept on fighting for a week until they were relieved. Of the over 500-plus soldiers who entered the Argonne Forest, only 194 walked out unscathed. The rest were killed, missing, captured, or wounded.
The Last Stand is the band’s eighth studio album and is due out on August 19th. There are a bunch of special editions available for pre-order over on the Nuclear Blast store (including one with a 2kg aluminium tank!), or RecordStore for a couple of vinyl versions.
Those track listings – for every edition! – are as follows:
