SABATON Introduces Heroes Of The Great War – Second EP of Echoes Of The Modern Age Trilogy Out Now

SABATON announces the release of their second EP, “Heroes Of The Great War,” as part of the Echoes Of The Great War trilogy. This EP focuses on the inspiring stories of courageous heroes from World War I. The band’s tribute to these individuals and their remarkable feats is reflected in the EP’s never-heard-before track, “The First Soldier.”

Albert Severin Roche, the hero of “The First Soldier,” defied the odds and proved his bravery despite initial doubts. A French army recruit standing only 1.58 meters tall, he became known as The First Soldier of France for his heroism and successful missions in World War I.

SABATON’s Pär Sundstrom emphasizes that the EP honors those who pushed beyond their limits in times of conflict, achieving extraordinary things. This EP is a tribute to their bravery and a way to ensure their stories are not forgotten.

The EP trilogy includes:

  1. “Weapons Of The Modern Age” (Released September 30, 2022)
  2. “Heroes Of The Great War” (Now Available)
  3. “Stories From The Western Front” (Upcoming)

These EPs, coupled with the band’s passion for history and heroism, create a unique collection of World War I narratives and metal music. SABATON’s dedication to history and powerful storytelling shines through each release.

The band also announced rescheduled tour dates for their European leg and an extended tour in Sweden in 2023, showcasing their strong presence in the metal community.
