Sabaton has shared the first new song from their upcoming new album, The Great War, due out from Nuclear Blast on July 19th. Listen to their cover of Apocalyptica’s ‘Fields of Verdun’ right now!
Pär Sundström comments: “I watched Apocalyptica’s show in Madrid last year and I was blown away by the magic atmosphere they created. This made me excited to see what these fantastic musicians could do with a Sabaton song! And what would be more fun than to let them record their version of a song not yet released?”
