IF THERE ARE two things Sabaton love, it’s history and heavy metal. Almost two years since they launched their 10th studio album, The War To End All Wars, at the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces in Brussels, the Swedish band officially premiered their own movie based on the songs from that album on Remembrance Sunday, November 11th.
As part of their History Rocks project, Sabaton partnered with museums around the world to show The War To End All Wars –The Movie. Those attending the screenings at London’s Royal Air Force Museum got an extra treat –an appearance from members of the band themselves. Vocalist Joakim Brodén and bassist Pär Sundström introduced the movie and then offered aQ&A afterwards, even taking photos with the crowd as they posed next to one of the museum’s most impressive exhibits –an Avro Lancaster Bomber, a plane most commonly used in World War II. Attended by fans of all ages –some as young as eight years old –and with some travelling from as far afield as Poland, the Q&A addressed the band’s plans to move on from World War I after two records in the trenches, as well as suggestions that they’ll be planning something big in 2024 to commemorate their 25th anniversary. Seeing how massive their Wembley Arena show was in April, one thing’s for sure: the sky’s the limit…
