While Charlie's plane was severely damaged and the pilot hurt, Franz decided, instead of shooting him down, to risk his own life and escort him to safety.

Are you ready for some new SABATON music? Wait no more! Hear now a teaser of one of our upcoming songs.'Įarlier this week, SABATON surpassed one million subscribers on its YouTube channel. In a message accompanying the YouTube clip, the band wrote: 'We bet you did not see this one coming. On Wednesday (December 23), SABATON released a short teaser for a brand new song. However, we do have some good news, and that is, in a few days, we're gonna go into the studio and record the next SABATON album.' Here we are on Christmas eve, and we just wanna take the chance to say thanks to all of you for being fantastic fans in tough times.

The news of SABATON's recording plans was broken earlier today in a Christmas video message from singer Joakim Brodén and his bandmates. The band's 20th-anniversary record was a concept effort covering stories from the First World War.

The upcoming LP will be the follow-up to 'The Great War', which came out in July 2019 via Nuclear Blast Records. Swedish metallers SABATON will enter the studio 'in a few days' to begin recording their next album.
