Let's go over the songs in Sabaton's new album, and what they will be about · 12:34am Jun 12th, 2016
1) Sparta [4:25]- otherwise known as the stand of the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae
2) Last Dying Breath [3:24]- not sure, too ambiguous
3) Blood of Bannockburn [3:00]- a battle between the besieged English and the Scots led by Robert the Bruce
4) Diary of an Unknown Soldier [0:55]- seems to be an interlude of sorts
5) The Lost Battalion [3:46]- already released as a single, about Liberty Division during the battle of Argonne in Northern France during WW1
6) Rorkes Drift [3:30]- During the Anglo-Zulu war the British were holed up in an outpost, just over 150 British and colonial troops successfully
defended the garrison against an intense assault by 3,000 to 4,000 Zulu warriors
7) The Last Stand [3:44]- again, too ambiguous
8) Hill 3234 [3:25]- This one is about a battle during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan
9) Shiroyama [3:33]- this one is about the Battle of Shiroyama, the last stand of the Samurai
10) Winged Hussars [3:53]- definitely about the Battle of Vienna to relieve the besieged city from the attacking Turks, of note is the cavalry charge featuring 18000 Horsman lead by 3000 Polish Winged Hussars (Mother of god...
)
11) The Last Battle [3:08]- no idea, maybe a battle during WW1 or WW2. as a personal suggestion, it may be about the Battle for Castle Itter, which was one of the last battles of the western front of WW2
