Swedish metal chronicler SABATON is on a mission to send chills up listeners’ spines. Today, the Swedish band unleashes The Symphony To End All Wars, a virtuosic, symphonic take on The War To End All Wars, that was released on March 4, 2022 (Nuclear Blast Records).
The band states: “These stories about courageous heroes and extraordinary incidents during The Great War are not only worthy of a whole album and an accompanying history edition, but an additional symphonic soundtrack edition that summons new emotions and adds a new dimension to our compositions. This is an entirely different take on ‘The War To End All Wars’.”
The Symphony To End All Wars is available in two vinyl formats: Black Single LP in Gatefold and Winter Wind Single LP in Gatefold (limited to 1500 units) and can be streamed on all digital music formats.

The album tells the stories, miracles, and atrocities of one of the darkest episodes of modern history, effortlessly marrying these true tales into loud, bruising, bone-tingling heavy metal.
Sabaton climbed the international charts with The War To End All Wars, securing #1 positions in Germany, Austria, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, and Finland. Having achieved the top position for the second time in Germany, Sweden, and Finland, the album peaked at #1 in Poland, Hungary, and Austria for the first time in the band’s career.
