__Once more and Sabaton's tracks teaching history about 'World War One', this genre they served named by the industry military metal hah hah!!!__but basicaly band belongs to power metal, with additions regardless content and lyrics the title military is the commercial case that makes the band unique and competitive.
__The album has a timeliness place in current reality, the brutal and murderous "A (first) world war", the most bloody where killed under horrible circumstances millions of people, so with a subject like this world war, hit to turn sensation from above. Its a concept album, unique and good binding like a book all tracks, more concept than any previous long ago. Vocals sucks, but musicianship pretty good, overall its a good work..
----In the "The future Of Warfare" : The band sustained to great lyrics and through words and meanings hits a cinematic horrendous air, that is pursued some grandiosity, Joakim Broden as leading actor screams all over, namely sounds old school doom metal as 'Solitude Aeturnus' or 'Candlemass' accompanying with synthetic choirs and old church 'hammond B3'. At "Seven Pilars Of Wisdom": in a swift rhythm section and presto allegro as pace with strong fast riffs on the guitar,including a long chorus and many solos ,that gives powerful vibes, song talks about vision's contrast in regards Jihadists , to take revenge against corapted western wold , following the tracks of a 1916 novel about "Lawrence of Arabia" ,they head down there to support islams traditional morals.
____The other song like the -"82nd All The Way"- : It's historic tale articulated, mutch descriptive and narrative, talks about the story and then drops chorus, hears magnificently like march with choral back vocals, it gives mental conceit special for overweening, there is greatness in songwriting composition after chorus comes guitar solos, lyrics are about a conflict in the line of fire between Germans and Americans and some hero "Sergent" York_. One more song is "The Attack Of The Dead Man": Like Gothic metal rash and exclusively rhythmic, after chorus which is emphasized ,follows a long operatic guitar solo, this track looks similar Orden Ogan or Nightwish or Type-O-Negative, and story says about some raging attack in the midst of poisonous gas, against a besieged fortress .__
